Description
"Can't Buy A Thrill" is the debut studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released in November 1972 by ABC Records. It was produced by Gary Katz and written by band members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. The album was recorded at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles. The album peaked at #17 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums, and was reissued on August 22, 1973, by Dunhill Records. On May 31, 1973, it was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of 500,00 copies in the US, then certified platinum by RIAA on September 7, 1993, for shipments of 1,000,000 copies in the US. This is the only Steely Dan album to include David Palmer as lead vocalist, having been recruited after Donald Fagen expressed concerns over singing live. Drummer Jim Hodder also sings lead vocals on one song, "Midnight Cruiser", as well as singing the "Dallas" single, which was omitted from the album. By the time recording of the next album began, the band and producer Gary Katz had convinced Fagen to assume the full lead vocalist role.
