Aja (pronounced Asia) is the sixth studio album by Steely Dan. Released in 1977, the album peaked at number three on the US charts and number five in the UK. It was the band's first platinum album and ultimately became their best-selling studio release, eventually selling over 5 million copies. The album includes the hit songs "Deacon Blues", "Peg" and "Josie".
In 2010 the Library of Congress selected Aja for inclusion in the United States National Recording Registry based on its cultural, artistic or historical significance.
Here I have a 1st Press LP of Steely Dan's "Aja" that's in EX condition. Amazing host of contributors including: Tom Scott, Wayne Shorter, Larry Carlton, Chuck Findley and more.
Record Grading M A still sealed and never played record. NM Near Mint looks like new but played a few times. EX A lightly used with no visible scratches or sleeve scuffs.
VG+ A used but not abused record that may have 1 or 2 light paper scratches or scuffing but DNAP. Will be noted if any scratches or scuffs exist. VG Played many times and may have a few scratches and scuffs but are not fingernail detectable. Usually, will have some background noise. G Well-worn but should play through without repeating and may have one or more detectable scratches.
Record Cover Grading M A sealed brand-new cover, if issue exists it will be described. NM Cover may have a few very minor flaws otherwise will appear as though brand new. EX Cover will show one or two minor imperfections, very light wear to the corners and edges. VG+ Cover will show a few signs of wear and handling. May include light stains /discoloration, small crease marks, and faint wear (shelf or ring). Possible markings such as a cut corner, hole punch, or saw cut. VG Cover will show several of the same signs of wear and handling present on a VG+ cover. Splits to the seam or spine will not exceed 2" in length. The presence of a single pronounced flaw, such as extremely prominent shelf or ring wear, marking, staining, writing, or discoloration will cause an LP cover to be graded VG, as will the presence of an appreciable number of minor flaws. G Cover will show many minor imperfections, and multiple pronounced flaws such as prominent shelf or ring wear, marking, staining, writing, or discoloration. Splits to the seams or spine will not exceed 8" and may be taped.
