David Palmer was the singer of Dirty Work and Brooklyn , Jim Hodder of Midnite Cruiser , the rest was sung by Donald Fagen.
Record cover
The album cover is a photomontage of a number of prostitutes, a red painted female mouth and other colorful ingredients.
In 1999, the composers Donald Fagen and Walter Becker expressed themselves in the liner notes of The Royal Scam Album Remaster the record sleeve as "the ugliest album cover of the seventies, with the possible exception of Can't Buy a Thrill ".
In Spain under Francisco Franco the cover was replaced by a band photo.
