Found Studio Tracks is a compilation of session recordings made by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker prior to their formation of the band Steely Dan. Most were never released on a studio album, but six of them were later rerecorded for albums. Most of the recordings are of very low quality and are simply demos.

The collection, or parts of it, was also released under numerous album names, such as Donald Fagan and Walter Becker of Steely Dan, and Walter Becker / Donald Fagen - The Early Years.[1] The most complete collections are Android Warehouse,[2] and Catalyst: The Original Recordings 1968-71[3] for a total of 28 or 29 songs (the latter adding an alternate version of one of them).
