Guitarists on the recording include Walter Becker, Denny Dias, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall and Dean Parks.<\/p>\n<p>In common with other Steely Dan albums, <strong>The Royal Scam<\/strong> is littered with cryptic allusions to people and events both real and fictional. In a BBC interview in 2000, Becker and Fagen revealed that &#8220;Kid Charlemagne&#8221;is loosely based on Augustus Owsley Stanley, the notorious drug &#8220;chef&#8221;who was famous for manufacturing hallucinogenic compounds, and that &#8220;Caves of Altamira&#8221;, based on a book by Hans Baumann, is about the loss of innocence, the narrative about a visitor to the Cave of Altamira who registers his astonishment at the prehistoric drawings. It is also influenced by Plato&#8217;s Cave Allegory and Keats&#8217; &#8216;Ode to a Grecian Urn&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The album was re-issued by MCA Records in 1979 following the sale of the ABC Records label to MCA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Scam is the fifth studio album by Steely Dan, originally released by ABC Records in 1976.
