Demetrio, Steely Dan's "Katy Lied" billed itself in 1975 as "a high fidelity recording" in the original liner notes. "Steely Dan uses a specially constructed 24-channel tape recorder, a 'State Of The Art' 36-input computerized-mixdown console, and some very expensive German microphones. Individual microphone equalization is frowned upon. The sound of the musicians and singers is reproduced as faithfully as possible, and special care is taken to preserve the band-width and transient response of each performer". In their 1999 remastered "K.L." cd release's liner notes , Donald Fagen & Walter Becker recalled "the little studio at ABC/Dunhill was very nicely tricked out with a brand new Bosendorfer piano, our splendid double Magneplanar monitor system, and a newly acquired and fabulously expensive set of Audio Research D-76 tube power amps to go with the Maggies. You should have been there". Oh yeah, a background singer-n-keyboardist named Michael McDonald makes his first album contributions with Steely Dan(he toured as part of S.D.'s 1974 band, & would continue to provide background vocals throughout the 70's, even during his successful Doobie Brothers enlistment). Actually, all those 70s-era Roger Nichols' engineered & Gary Katz produced S.D. albums are sonic marvels.
