Welcome! This auction is for an audiophile copy of Steely Dan's lp "Aja." This is the audiophile mobile fidelity sound lab version of this title. It includes an lyric insert and two other mfsl inserts (see pictures).
I am starting this auction at $34.99. Please see my other listings. I have quite a few MFSL and half-speed titles up for auction. :
If you have any questions, please let me know. Happy Bidding!
Vinyl Condition: VG++ (some spindle marks and a few non-sounding scuffs)
Jacket Condition: VG (I'll be very conservative here. The cover is decent, but shows general wear (like most mfsl jackets). There is also the beginning (less than 1 milimeter) of a split at the mouth)
This album was originally released by ABC Records in 1975. Here is the 4.5 star review from Allmusic.com
ReviewSteely Dan hadn't been a real working band since Pretzel Logic, but with Aja, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's obsession with sonic detail and fascination with composition reached new heights. A coolly textured and immaculately produced collection of sophisticated jazz-rock, Aja has none of the overt cynicism or self-consciously challenging music that distinguished previous Steely Dan records. Instead, it's a measured and textured album, filled with subtle melodies and accomplished, jazzy solos that blend easily into the lush instrumental backdrops. But Aja isn't just about texture, since Becker and Fagen's songs are their most complex and musically rich set of songs -- even the simplest song, the sunny pop of "Peg," has layers of jazzy vocal harmonies. In fact, Steely Dan ignores rock on Aja, preferring to fuse cool jazz, blues, and pop together in a seamless, seductive fashion. It's complex music delivered with ease, and although the duo's preoccupation with clean sound and self-consciously sophisticated arrangements would eventually lead to a dead end, Aja is a shining example of jazz-rock at its finest.
