No wonder the engineers won awards for this album. Really good quality pressing too. Super tight sounding.

Edited 5 years agoSome copies have a glossy laminated gatefold; others have a plain old garden variety Shorewood card-stock matte gatefold sleeve. I owned both variants at one point. -
I'm lucky enough to own a NM/M copy of this album that looks and plays like it was just purchased in 1973. A great introduction to where Steely Dan was going in the near future. One of my favourites. Excellent musicianship and lyrics as always and great sound.
