Notes
This release appears to be the same as https://www.localhost/Steely-Dan-Pretzel-Logic/release/8731654 except that the label printing is different. MCL 1781 (P)1974 ABC Records, Inc on left side of hole, 33 RPM STEREO (MCL 1781A) on right side.The Side A runout information is also different with ABCL 5015 reported on the alternative version although this could be a misreading of the data because it is heavily scratched out. It looks more like ABCL 5045 which would match the other side.
All songs by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, except "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by Duke Ellington and Bubber Miley.
Engineered by Roger Nichols at the Village Recorder, West Los Angeles, California.
Overdub and mixdown at Cherokee Sound, Chatsworth, California
On label: 1974 ABC Records, Inc
On sleeve: 1974 MCA Records, Inc.
