Long Lost Steely Dan Track may have been located

Second Arrangement was originally supposed to be on Gaucho, but the assistant engineer mistakenly erased three-quarters of the track after it was completed. It was re-recorded but Fagen and Becker liked the first arrangment of Second Arrangement better and wouldn’t put it on the album. There’s a few bootlegs of the second version- one’s below, but it turns out that cassettes which may hold a copy of the original version may have been located.
