Steely Dan - Aja (LP, Album, Ter) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Released Year: 1977
Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Comments:
clean vinyl and jacket, light edge wear. Media has slight storage warp on outer track but DNAP on my playback. Ask for pics, ultrasonically cleaned. Ships with care in a whiplash mailer from a brick and mortar record store.

Notes:

Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute, first pressing variant, per the "T" etched in runouts. 

First pressings have catalog # AB-1006. "AB" prefix in catalog # was an ABC label price code, and approximately two weeks after the release of the album, the price was raised $1.00 and subsequent pressings were issued as catalog # AA-1006.

Issued in a glossy cardstock gatefold jacket, with printed card stock inner sleeve with lyrics and credits.

Some copies with "Demonstration - Not For Sale" stamped in gold on jacket front cover.
