The great 70s audiophile classic on UHQR, Steely Dan fans, listen up!
Hardly any hi-fi show in the 70s and 80s could do without 'Aja', the perfection of the recording can be heard in every note
The band's best-selling album won a Grammy for best engineering, and the top five songs "Deacon Blues" and "Peg" went platinum and still resonate today
Not for nothing did Rolling Stone rank Aja 67th on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time; the album's sophisticated blend of rock, jazz and fusion music is impressively multi-layered and was recorded and produced with a lot of (Steely Dan-typical) attention to detail
The remastering was done by Bernie Grundman
Many well-known session musicians are featured alongside the regular line-up, including Joe Sample, Larry Carlton, Wayne Shorter, Steve Gadd and Lee Ritenour
Limited to 30,000 numbered copies, the 45 RPM double LP on clear vinyl is presented in a high-quality jewel case with accompanying book - a perfect addition to any collection
