Condition: Second Hand Media: Very Good Plus (VG+) Cover: Very Good Plus (VG+) Description Release details Tracklist Countdown To Ecstasy is an LP by Steely Dan from 1974 released on the ABC Records label. About this album Countdown to Ecstasy sharpened Steely Dan’s early identity, pushing their jazz-rock ambition further without losing the pop instincts that made them distinctive. Issued in 1973, the album pairs intricate playing with sardonic, literate lyrics and tighter songcraft, signalling the duo’s move away from pure radio polish towards the cool, elusive style that would define their later work. Tracks such as Bodhisattva, My Old School and Show Biz Kids show the group balancing muscular grooves, sophisticated harmony and studied detachment. It is widely regarded as one of the key records in Steely Dan’s catalogue and an important bridge between their debut and the more elaborate studio craft that followed.
