Steely Dan's third studio album, Pretzel Logic, featured the biggest pop hit of their career, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", and put the band back on the radio
Becker and Fagen invited prominent Los Angeles musicians into the studio for the recordings, but only allowed them to record occasional overdubs
Drummer Jim Hodder was given a backing vocal role and was replaced on his instrument by Jim Gordon and Jeff Porcaro
The songs on "Pretzel Logic" are shorter than on its predecessor "Countdown to Ecstasy"
Steely Dan saw this as an attempt to make complete musical statements within the three-minute pop song format
The lyrics deal with nostalgia, lost love and the struggles of the creative process
One of the distinctive features of 'Pretzel Logic' is the use of unusual chord progressions and unexpected musical twists
The whole album demonstrates the band's musical ability with its intricate arrangements
RECORDING October 1973 - January 1974 at The Village Recorder, West Los Angeles
