Steely Dan Gaucho (180-gram Vinyl 'Back To Black' Vinyl Anniversary Release rip 24/96)

Released in 1980, ‘Gaucho’ was Walter Becker and Donald Fagen’s seventh and last album as Steely Dan until the release of ‘Two Against Nature’ in 2000. Beset by a number of problems during the album’s gestation, including a car crash, a dispute with their label over the retail price and an engineer erasing an entire track, the album was never the less a Top Ten US hit, going double platinum in the process, and featuring a hit single with ‘Hey Nineteen’. The somewhat ambivalent Rolling Stone review felt that “Steely Dan have perfected the aesthetic of the tease. Their sound is as slippery as their irony.
