Steely Dan - The Royal Scam

Originally released in 1976, The Royal Scam was the fifth studio album by Steely Dan, led by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. With its cool fusion of jazz, funk and wry lyricism, the record features signature tracks like ‘Kid Charlemagne’, ‘The Fez’ and ‘Haitian Divorce’. It marked a darker, more cynical turn in the band’s storytelling, set against some of their most rhythmically ambitious arrangements to date.

Concluding the celebrated reissue series of Steely Dan’s 1972–1980 catalogue, The Royal Scam captures the group in full creative flight—polished, punchy and as idiosyncratic as ever.
