As a loyal DanFan, I am now soundly and roundly chastened.

What can we expect next from the Steely Dan canon in surround sound?
Becker: Pretzel Logic (1974) is done, and it will be out sooner than later. The Royal Scam (1976) — we have the masters on dual 16-track [machines], and we’re just getting started there. Aja (1977) is missing some of the master tapes. At one point, we offered $600 for their return [see the liner notes to the 1999 Aja CD reissue from MCA Records for more on that], but there were no takers.
[MM’s 2017 update: I asked Elliot Scheiner about Becker’s above statements on January 31, 2005, and he confirmed to me that he had indeed competed a surround mix for Pretzel Logic, but as of this 2017 writing, it has yet to be released. The Royal Scam appears to remain in limbo to this day, and the bulk of the Aja masters are still, unfortunately, missing from the hands of their rightful owners.]
This is heartbreaking, that after all this time, this still has not been released:

Maybe, (sadly) with the death of one of the duo, there will be a jump by the label to get product out there for the public now that there is a Steely Dan media frenzy, and these surround releases will morph into deluxe box sets of these albums. Might be the only way they come out at this point.
Sad to say it would have to be this way.
individual albums going from deluxe edition to super deluxe editions, and since there are not a lot of outtakes and unreleased sings, besides hi-res the surround mixes are about all that there sometimes is.
