STEELY DAN - 'REELIN' IN THE YEARS' (Ian Stone's 2023 Extended & Remixed 'Raw '73' Version)

AWESOME CLASSIC ROCK TRACK HERE FROM 1973 CALLED 'REELIN' IN THE YEARS' WHICH WAS RECORDED AND RELEASED BY THE NEW YORK PROG ROCK GROUP CALLED 'STEELY DAN'.THIS EPIC SONG WAS THE LEAD TUNE TAKEN OFF OF THEIR SUCCESSFUL AND MUCH ACCLAIMED SECOND STUDIO ALBUM CALLED 'CAN'T BUY A THRILL' THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT OUT ON THE 'ABC RECORDS' LABEL WORLDWIDE ONE YEAR EARLIER ON BACK IN 1972.THE OTHER GREAT TRACKS TO BE LIFTED FROM THIS L.P. WERE MINOR BILLBOARD CHART HITS IN THE LOWER REACHES THEY WERE THE FANTASTIC ROCK 'N' ROLL BALLAD CALLED 'DIRTY WORK' AND THE ABSOLUTE AMERICAN ANTHEM OF A TRACK CALLED 'DO IT AGAIN'.THIS ALBUM WASN'T JUST A ROCK STYLE OF L.P. THE BAND ALSO HAD JAZZ AND SOME GREAT SOFT ROCK LOVE BALLADS ALONG WITH LATIN DANCE TRACKS ON THERE FOR GOOD MEASURE AS WELL.MEMBERS OF 'STEELY DAN' DURING THIS MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD WERE ON THE LEAD VOCALS 'DONALD FAGEN' ALONG WITH TWO FEMALE BACKGROUND HARMONIES SUPPLIED BY THE LOVELY 'CATHERINE RUSSELL' AND THE BEAUTIFUL ARTIST CALLED 'CAROLYN LIONHART'.THERE WERE SO MANY MUSICIANS PLAYING ON THE 'CAN'T BUY A THRILL' L.P. BUT THE OTHER PERMANENT ARTISTS WERE ON THE DRUMS THE LATE GREAT 'KEITH CARLOCK' AND FANTASTIC BASS GUITAR FROM 'FREDDIE WASHINGTON'.MAKING UP THE REST OF THEIR 1973 CLASSIC LINE UP WERE ON THE KEYBOARDS THE ARTIST KNOWN AS 'JIM BEARD' AND THE WONDERFUL 'JON HERINGTON' ON THE LEAD GUITAR THROUGHOUT.HAVING FORMED BACK IN 1971 THEY WERE SOON SNAPPED UP BY THE SMALL 'ABC RECORDS' LABEL AND THEIR CAREER HAS SEEN NINE STUDIO ALBUM RELEASES FROM 1972 RIGHT UP UNTIL 2003.ANYWAY HERE WE FIND THAT 'IAN STONE' HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THAT RAW SOUNDING VERSION OF 'REELIN' IN THE YEARS' FROM THE EXTENDED SINGLE BACK IN 1973 AND ADDED A GREAT EXTENSION AND COOL REMIX TO THE SONG WHILE ALSO TRYING AS BEST AS POSSIBLE TO ENHANCE THE SEMI-MONO SOUND UP TO TODAY'S 2023 HQ STANDARD BUT IT STILL SOUNDS A BIT RAW AND HEAVY ON THE BASS A TAD BUT LET'S HOPE THAT TODAY'S 2023 AUDIENCES STILL GET TO HEAR THIS VERSION THAT I HAVE CREATED NOW REMASTERED.
