Steely Dan – Countdown To Ecstacy – Vinyl LP

Reissue, Limited Edition, High Quality

Steely Dan’s sprawling 1973 sophomore LP, Countdown To Ecstasy, with such standouts as “Bodhisattva,” “Show Biz Kids” and “My Old School,” sung by founding member Donald Fagen who took over as lead vocalist, will return to vinyl on May 26th via Geffen/UMe, continuing the extensive reissue program of the band’s classic ABC and MCA Records catalog. The series, which began in November 2022 with the Dan’s legendary debut LP, Can’t Buy A Thrill, is being personally overseen by Fagen, and returns the group’s first seven records to vinyl, most of which haven’t been available since their original release. Countdown To Ecstasy has been meticulously remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes and will be pressed on 180- gram black vinyl at 33 1/3 RPM. Additionally, the album has just been released as a limited edition premium 45 RPM version on Ultra High- Quality Vinyl (UHQR) from Analogue Productions, the audiophile inhouse reissue label of Acoustic Sounds.
