''Gaucho'' was Steely Dan's last album before the band's 10-year breakup from June 1981 to October 1991 . The album, originally released in 1980 , was also the band's last studio album until the 2000 release of '' Two Against Nature ''. Despite exceptional difficulties in the album's production (e.g., Walter Becker getting hit by a car, a dispute over what company had the rights to the album, attempts to get the record company to lower the price from $9.98 to the original $8.98 and the accidental erasing of an entire track - "The Second Arrangement" - by a recording engineer ), the album reached #9 on the charts and went Platinum . "Hey Nineteen" reached #10 on the singles charts.
