A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an ambitious, extended work, the antithesis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePopulated by thirty-five mostly jazz session players, \u003ci\u003eAja\u003c\/i\u003e served up pre-war song forms, mixed meters and extended solos to a generation whose idea of pop daring was Paul letting Linda sing lead once in a while. And, impossibly, it sold. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616117018782,"sku":"UBD-9780826427830","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780826427830.jpg?v=1773809456","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780826427830","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
