Amazon packaged this LP very securely and robustly for transit. The pressing is stellar--dead flat on my platter and reasonably clean out of the sleeve. The packaging nicely replicates the original. The cardstock used in the sleeve may be thinner, but not by much. The lyric sheet inner sleeve paper is heavier than what was typical on early 80's vinyl. The record itself is actually shipped in a second black plastic inner sleeve which is a nice touch showing attention to the buyer.
I played it using a very new "Shibata/line contact" style stylus on a 40 year old trusted cartridge and the sound was all I could hope for. CD quiet noise floor and zero vinyl audio artifacts. A real treat to listen to and a great value to the asking price.

Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" and Steely Dan's "Aja" are my go-to discs, when I need to be sure my playback chain is properly calibrated. Unequaled, in my humble opinion.
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022
Sound quality is fabulous clear and crisp yet rich and warm. Changing to a tube preamp made a big difference.
My only complaint is that on some tracks Fagan‘s piano is shoved in your face and dominates the amazing nuances and performances provided by some the industry’s best musicians that could be enjoyed better.

Fagan is brilliant! He writes lyrics that are unlike anyone else’s. His arrangements are fantastic and beautifully recorded. I could go on,,, but I won’t.

This is for the May 2021 release.
It's an excellent pressing. Quiet record, nice and flat. It compares very well to my original vinyl copy. The process of getting it here was a bit, difficult.
I pre-ordered in March and waited for the release day. Finally the shipment arrives, and much to my surprise I received a copy of a My Chemical Romance record. Okay, just a missed pick from the warehouse and I process a replacement.
The replacement shows up the next day. It's the correct record this time. I notice after opening the mailer there is a 1-ish inch seam split on top of the jacket. Okay, we'll try again. Here's where I learned that Amazon will no longer replace an item a second time. You can only refund and manually pre-order.
Okay, fine. Third time's the charm, right?
This item showed up with a slightly smaller seam split on the jacket. *sigh* Okay, fine. I'll try again. I really like this record. I'd love a second player copy. So, I order another replacement.
This time, the record makes it to my distribution center, is re-routed to another distribution center a few states away, and is marked "undeliverable".
At this point I can't help but laugh. And since this was another order replacement, I have to choose to place another new order.
I decide at this point patience and persistence have got to pay off. Or I'm just being plain stubborn.
I'm happy to report that on the fifth attempt, my record arrived on time, intact, and without any issues.
Again, this a great pressing. The presentation is faithful to the original. The poly-lined sleeve is a nice touch. The lyric sheet is on nice heavy paper stock.
And this is one of the best jazz-pop albums committed to record. It's truly wonderful and would make a great addition to anyone's collection.
I just wish it didn't take so many attempts to get here without any issue. I've shipped back all three of the incorrect/damaged copies and hope that I can manage to stay charged for only the one copy I received and kept.
EDIT: After writing this review and having returned all of the wrong or damaged copies, a couple days later the copy that was marked as undeliverable showed up on my doorstep. As an aside, it was in perfect condition.
I contacted Amazon and they let me keep it without charging me. And after a few days after receiving the returns all of the money for my other purchased copies was returned to my card.
So yes, the issue was resolved and I now have an extra copy of this album.

When Donald Fagen in, I believe the second song, says "1,000 years" - and sprinkles magical mysterious pixie dust notes - chills ran!! He is such an "arrived" talent who can seemingly effortlessly create JUST the space and stretch out the time and salt it with dreamy background harmonies... It would take any average humanoid well over 1000 yrs to pull THAT off! Like Ellington, there's that sort of knowing outlook from which his native soul expresses itself - non- recognizing the right of intervention of anything shy of it - and he enlists the help of fellow "time warriors" who know how to swim in his ether! as part and parcel of it! Me, I'm just hitching my wagon to this star on the van cd player!!

This is a superb solo album! Sublime musicianship and relatable lyrics. This is worthy of the mastermind behind Steely Dan and for those who mourn Beckers passing a memory to savour. They went their own unique way and provided us with a blend of jazz and pop music which is unique.
