Steely Dan – Aja

EX+ LP Record / EX Gatefold Cover

1977

ABC Records AA-1006

EX+ Vinyl / EX Gatefold Cover. Excellent playback and sound with some light pressing background throughout (more so on side A which starts rough with some light crackle then subsides - Side B plays much quieter and is excellent). Sparkling vinyl shows a fair amount of paper sleeve ghost patterns and a few light but visible sleeve rubs on Side B - no other marks or scratches and is still a visual NM Minus. Glossy cover shows light shelf wear - lightly worn corners but has nice edges and spine. Nice EX+ inner card pocket sleeve. Early press but not first press since the original came out as AB-1006. A very nice album although less than perfect.
