And it's fitting Steely Dan leads the price lunge. It fits their style. If you're smart, you'll buy one of their early efforts. It doesn't matter which--Dan enthusiasts don't agree on a 'best'--the albums are all interchangeable. But at $5.98 you won't feel as bad when, in six months, you realize how disposable the work...
