Steely Dan Aja cover


What is that ribbon supposed to be?  It looks like a piece of the US flag.  Is that what it's supposed to be or something else? I never understood it.  I see the profile of the face of the Japanese model, though.

My favorite album of all time. Recently got the UHQR of it shipped the day it was released. Incredible....blew away my Mofi Original Master. Unfortunately (but expectedly) it hurt the resale value of the Mofi. But I sold it anyway..... I think it is Fagen's favorite too since he plays more songs from that album than any other at their concerts.

@sokogear - He may very well like it the best, but likely of more importance is that the audience wants to hear that the most, being their biggest selling album. I've got that UHQR, too - awesome! 

@larsman - at this point Donald does whatever the hell he wants. The only one he plays that he thinks the audience wants is Rikki Don't Lose that Number. They used to never play it when they first started touring again after their breakup in the early 80's. I bet he thinks it is too pop.

He just turned 76 and I hope he keeps touring as long as he can play. He is pretty grouchy, but that led to some great music/albums driving the studio musicians crazy. I guess the touring band that has been together so long has gotten used to him.

For me it was noticing the tiny end of her fingertip that made me see the robe. I think the mystery of I think I see her but I’m not sure is the visual point. The song is certainly atmospheric. What an album! It’s been my reference album for auditioning gear for 40 years.
