The Second Arrangement - final mix found & released

[Larry T.]

Steely Dan fans rejoice. If you haven't heard yet Roger Nichols daughter Cimcie found, had restored and released the last mix before being accidentally erased of "The Second Arrangement".  We've all heard the less than stellar quality versions but this is probably as close to Steely Dan quality as there is at this time. I've read there is a 15ips version (as opposed to the studio 30ips standard tape speed) around but hasn't been released, as well as an actual complete re-recording by the Dan but was nixed by Donald.

I misread the thread title as "The Second Arraignment" and thought someone had gotten busted again! ?
