Geffen/UMe has announced the May 26 return to vinyl of Steely Dan’s memorable sophomore LP of 1973, Countdown To Ecstasy. It’s the latest in the reissue series that began last November with the band’s debut album Can’t Buy A Thrill. The series, which is being personally overseen by Donald Fagen, will bring each of the massively influential band’s first seven albums back to vinyl, in most cases for the first time since their original release. Countdown To Ecstasy was the record on which Fagen became lead vocalist for Steely Dan, on an album that included such standouts as “Bodhisattva,” “Show Biz Kids,” and “My Old School.” It’s been meticulously remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes and is to be pressed on 180 gram black vinyl at 33 1/3 RPM. Tracklist: Side 1: 1. Bodhisattva 2. Razor Boy 3. The Boston Rag 4. Your Gold Teeth Side 2: 1. Show Biz Kids 2. My Old School 3. Pearl of the Quarter 4. King of the World
