Steely Dan’s 1977 landmark Aja is the next release in Geffen/UMe’s extensive reissue program of the group’s hallowed catalog of releases for ABC and MCA Records!
Like its forerunners in the series – the debut album Can’t Buy A Thrill in 2022, as well as Countdown To Ecstasy and Pretzel Logic in 2023 – Aja has been remastered by Bernie Grundman from an analog, non-EQ’d, tape copy.
Aja was the sixth album in only five years by Steely Dan, taking the band’s masterminds Walter Becker and Donald Fagen to a new plateau of creativity and acclaim. It became their fast seller to date and first platinum record, later rising to double platinum. It spent 60 weeks on the US charts, fueled by the Top 20 hits “Peg” and “Deacon Blues,” as well as the Top 40 “Josie.” The album went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording – Non Classical and was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group.
