I posted this not more than a week ago on another Steely Dan thread:

Taipei, Taiwan June 1977:

Walked with my Chinese doll into a record store. No copywrite, so all new albums were 50 cents US. Didn't know Steely Dan other than the top 40 stuff - reeling up the rears - bought Aja.

Returned to her family's noodle shop and had a listen. 45 minutes later, in shock, speechless, I told Ling I was gonna take a walk.

That was some kind of rock album. Few had the immediate, and long-lasting, impact of that one.

Not many bands that put out albums with so little filler as Steely Dan... like none, not a second
