Magdalenian Pries: Katy Lied Demos and Outtakes

~ Release by Steely Dan (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Two other sources were a few alternate versions of Pre-Dan boots can be found are the digital bootleg Magdalenian Pries as well as the Knuckle Sandwich reel. Magdalenian Pries is a long circulated digital compilation of Pre-Dan tracks and Katy Lied outtakes. This compilation features alternate versions of "Ida Lee" and "Don't Let Me In". The Knuckle Sandwich reel came to light when a Facebook user in a Steely Dan fan group asked "Does Knuckle Sandwich mean anything to anyone?". The user went on to explain that an acquaintance obtained the reel from a deli worker who knew a sound engineer for Fagen and Becker's band, which at the time was called Knuckle Sandwich. The reel contained alternate takes of "Brain Tap Shuffle", "A Horse in Town", and "Old Regime", as well as an untitled instrumental jam. This jam is said to have evolved into the song "Your Gold Teeth" on Countdown to Ecstasy. Magdalenian Pries can be found on music trading websites and peer-to-peer file sharing programs, while the contents of the Knucklehead Sandwich reel are much harder to find.
