STEELY DAN "Aja" Record Album LP Vinyl (1977 ABC Records) Donald Fagan, Walter Becker
The Album as a whole is in Excellent + condition. The cover is in Very Good + Condition and is in amazing shape for a 43 year old album. There is a Promotional album cut in the cover. (See Photos) The vinyl is in Near Mint Condition as well.  No Skips or Loops.  Plays beautifully. I played this album on July 9th 2020 and it sound amazing.
This is a promotional album. In the 70's, 80's 90's Record companies would send record stores free albums for in store play. Back then there were also a few record stores that used to deal in used records. A lot of Used Record Stores would sell those free albums as Used.  Of course the record companies didn't want the Used Record Stores to sell those free albums so the would cut a groove in the sleeve or print Promotional album on the sleeve.  A lot of us weren't really that concerned with the quality of the album cover so we bought them anyway.
