Your inventory is missing one http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002L0E/qid=1049852625/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/002-4761772-9186405

Some really cool stuff on it, Donald's liner notes are fantastic.

While I agree that 11 Tracks of Whack is weak it's got a couple of good songs (Junkie Girl is my fave, I find Hat Too Flat very catchie and Cringemaker is a classic Steely Dan style song).

I like that they're touring agani, the first round for SD was marred by them not enjoying the road the second time around they seemed to really like it. Great show in Phoenix on the Decade tour.

Nope, I have it. Michael McDonald's cover of Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops" alone is worth the price of admission.

One of my favorites (can't find it on Amazon) is a Becker/Fagan album, pre-Steely Dan, probably about 1969-70, though undated. Probably wasn't intended as an album, just a collection of outtakes, experiments, and leftovers, I assume. One cut, "Parker's Band," shows up later under Steely Dan, though in different form. "Oh, Wow, It's You Again" and "Braintap Shuffle" are very recognizable as Steely Dan-sounding cuts, but the most interesting one is "The Mock Turtle Song," lyrics by Lewis Carroll, 1862. A shame the recording and production quality of that album isn't in the same ballpark as their later work.
