"A reward for missing masters or information leading to recovery" - Donald Fagen

When DTS attempted to make a 5.1 version, it was discovered that the multitrack masters for both "Black Cow" and the title track were missing. For this same reason, a multichannel SACD version was cancelled by Universal Music. Donald Fagen has offered a reward for the missing masters or any information that leads to their recovery.

From Wiki: Aja (pronounced /ˈeɪʒə/ like "Asia") is the sixth album by the jazz-rock band Steely Dan. Originally released in 1977, it became the group's best-selling album. Topping at #3 on the U.S. charts and #5 in the United Kingdom, it was the band's first platinum album, eventually selling over 5 million copies. In July 1978, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording. In 2003, the album was ranked number 145 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The album is ambitious and sophisticated, and features several leading session musicians. The eight-minute-long title track features complex jazz-based changes and a solo by renowned saxophonist Wayne Shorter, as well as dextrous drumming by Steve Gadd - most notably at the end of the track.

Aja is also the subject of one of the Classic Albums series of documentaries about the making of famous albums. The documentary includes a song-by-song study of the album (the only omission being "I Got the News," which is played during the closing credits), interviews with Steely Dan co-founders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (among others) plus new, live-in-studio versions of songs from the album, and the opportunity to hear some of the rejected (and uncredited) guitar solos for "Peg," before Jay Graydon produced the satisfactory take.

This came out the year that I lost my childhood innocence. (I don't mean sex, exactly, although that was a part of it.) This song and the album, Aja, have been a part of my life since then. I've come back to it a thousand times, and a thousand times it hasn't failed to please beyond expectation. I believe this to be the pinnacle of their craftsmanship, although earlier and later work produced real jems. The title piece, Aja, is superlative and the horn solo is a blow away, no pun intended. Very few artists, before and after, have worked so slavishly to produce such an enduring piece of excellence. Aja will forever be a piece of my heart and mind.

I've dug this since I was 19 but I've not ever understood. I can't cry anymore while you run around. I know there are lots of girls who would do this, but are there really any men who would date a lady who fucks lots of others?

This song reminds me of my youth in the Capital District of NY. Bars were open to 3 or 4 in the am in those days, and one of the same name as in this song was located at the Latham Circle. Once they closed shop, you could head down to the speakeasies in the lower South End and party til dawn. It was not unusual to get a Black Cow to settle your stomach, and yes, it had alcohol, though you could get it without. I saw more than one instance of someone's head on the counter, money, keys and whatever strewn by the head.
