First post here so hope it’s ok. Was reading about Aja pressings. I just purchased a gatefold copy with nice clean cover AA1006 and wondering what pressing it may be. Dead wax A side: T1 AA(scratched b) 1006 (re3)-a T5 B side: T1 AA(scratched b) 1006 (re3)-b-1 There appears to be a very faint B opposite the main info? Wondering if this identifies pressing
Good snag. The AB-1006 is actually the first run of Aja, and I’ve found that it sounds the best...but not too much difference.
Looks like a Terre Haute pressing. Yours is actually an AB cut from when they were switching over to the second issue (and inferior) AA. The AB Aja is a sonic joy. Steely Dan - Aja
Thanks for all the great feedback. Went out today and found a very nice AB copy that’s supposedly a Santa Maria? Press. I’ll do the comparison tonight.
