It's hard to choose my favorite Dan album. If I could only take one with me to the B side, I would reach for countdown. I'm jonesing for new master vinyl this December
Steely Dan "Can't Buy A Thrill" on UHQR vinyl
I've had my copy for a few days now and have listened through several times.
Steely Dan is my favorite band ever, so I have a ton of their stuff. This particular album I have a US and UK first pressing. A German and Japanese pressing and the Speakers Corner reissue.

$150.00 is a chunk of change, (a tad high IMHO), but it's a great album and the pressing is top-notch.
Next album, (Countdown To Ecstasy), is due the first of December or so.
