Fans of the 'Dan were in seventh heaven when the band announced their album catalogue was getting a full remaster and reissue campaign. Today's release is the sixth of seven, and it's jam packed with your favourites. We're talking about Aja of course, and you simply cannot deny the slick and soulful groove on mammoth tunes like Deacon Blues, Peg, Josie, or Black Cow. Now tightened up and pressed to 180 gram vinyl for your listening pleasure, it's the perfect time to remind yourself why this is included on the Rolling Stone list of Greatest Albums Of All Time! - Flying Out

Steely Dan’s 1977 landmark Aja is to be the next release in Geffen/UMe’s extensive reissue program of the group’s hallowed catalog of releases for ABC and MCA Records. Newly remastered from the analog tapes, it will make its return to vinyl on September 29.

Like its forerunners in the series – the debut album Can’t Buy A Thrill last November, Countdown To Ecstasy in May this year, and Pretzel Logic in July – Aja has been remastered by Bernie Grundman from an analog, non-EQ’d, tape copy. It will be pressed on 180 gram black vinyl at 33 1/3 RPM.

Aja is the sixth studio album by the jazz rock band. Led by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan released seven albums from 1972-1980. Originally released in 1977, it became the group's best-selling album, and was placed on Rolling Stone magazine's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list. This 1977's platinum-selling jazz-rock masterwork, includes the three hit singles - Deacon Blues, Peg and Josie - and the elegant title cut.
