About this album
Can’t Buy a Thrill is the first album by Steely Dan. Originally released in 1972, the album was a huge success. It went gold, and then platinum, peaking at #17 on the charts. In 2003, the album was ranked number 238 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Two songs were left out from the album and released as a single (“Dallas” and “Sail the Waterway”), but to date they have not been released on CD.
The album was originally released in two-channel Stereo and also in a special four-channel Quadrophonic mix. There are some significant musical differences between the two mixes, such as extra lead guitar fills in the Quad mix of Reelin’ in the Years.
The album cover features a line of prostitutes standing in a red light area waiting for clients, an image which was chosen because of its relevance to the album title. The title is taken from a line from Bob Dylan’s song “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry”.

sheesh... people are STILL discussing whether or not it is cool to like Steely Dan? They did that back in the 70s too. Couldn't figure out where to put it at the local record store - jazz - pop--rock--easy listening--WTF? Still stands up to bring LOTS of people to the table - just good music by a bunch of guys having fun doing what they do best. I like 'em. Always did. Good stuff! Put them under "S" for - still lovin' it--....or just Steely Dan

This wasn't just a freshman effort, where the band was still learning its craft. They burst on the scene at full maturity, I think. The only reason it's not equal with my other favorites is the fact that a different guy does some of the vocals so it doesn't quite sound like them (to my ears, anyway). "Only a Fool Would Say That" is such a great song. "Fire in the Hole" really hits home like few songs do. "Do It Again" is pure classic... and that's just THREE cuts out of ten! Few debut albums have been even HALF as good.
