Donald Fagen Sunken Condos Vinyl LP Sweepstakes
About the album:
His solo trilogy of The Nightfly, Kamakiriad and Morph the Cat behind him, the eternal Jersey boy hipster Donald Fagen decided he had a great deal more to say, so he's back with his fourth solo album, the title probably inspired by his reading a real estate column at the height of the housing bubble bust. The cover art shows a building "swimming with the fishes" as only a New Jersey boy could conceive. As for the music, it's classic Fagen character creating and storytelling set to infectious, funky beats. Fagen has always been sound-conscious and most of us have long forgiven him for opting to record The Nightfly digitally when good ol' analog still ruled the studios. Today, there's hardly a choice. Oh, well. Donald still cares about sound and does his best with the digits. Our friends at Warner Brothers/Reprise Records offered us two copies to give away of this double 180g pressed on clear RTI vinyl gatefold set mastered for vinyl (we trust from high resolution files) by Scott Hull at Masterdisk.

hope it's a great lp ...
I hope this is another great one.
We can never have enough vinyl, can we? too bad its from all those soulless digits...
I'm a big fan.
I love this album, can't wait for the vinyl version!
Please. Thank you.
love this album!
Love, love, love his music!
Hope I win this time!
No one grooves like Fagan. Count me in.
Thanks for another great opportunity.
I would love to win this album!
Thank you.
I'm in.
Still waiting on that spandex jacket....
to hearing it. Wishing myself good luck.
thanks.
Oooooo Pick Me!
Oooooo Pick Me!
Select me, select me!
Right here!
Always ready to give new vinyl a spin!
Pick me! Pick me!
Wouldn't mind adding another copy of this LP to the collection. Some great funky music and the sound quality is pretty nice as well.
Digging this album, all the better on wax
And another LP from a great talent would be welcome.
... hope this is a good one.
Like to win this one, heard good reviews on it! Waiting to spin it, lol!
Would love a chance to hear/own it on vinyl.
The album sounds much more like a steely Dan album than his other solo albums.
I'll take a chance on winning one.
Thanks.
I will rock the house with Sunken Condos vinyl. I have a special place picked out, right next to Nightfly.
Now you're talking about some music I would like to hear
Im in.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The would be a great addition to my collection. Donald Fagen LPs usually sound great. I'm in.
Got to be in it to win it.
recently and it sounds great
should one come my way.I was gonna buy a copy when it was issued but felt the price was out of line. Would love to know why certain labels charge twice as much as others.
It's a 2x180g issue. Most 1LP 180g are costing around $25-30 a piece. $40 for a 2LP 180g on clear vinyl isn't uncalled for at all. Be glad you're not a fan of hip-hop vinyl. You'd shit your pants if you seen the prices on some of that. $10-15+ for goddamn flexi records. So again, $40 in today's vinyl market for this is very reasonable.
I'm in.
I just recently picked up the remastered Aja lp and would love to add this one too!
Will the third time be the charm for winning anything? I'm a realist so probably not, but I do enjoy Analog Planet.

Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow...
Woof
Nice to know that Donald Fagen is still making new music -- and would love to hear his new release on vinyl!
Hope I get lucky this time.
I'm 51, I've been going to audiophile stores and shows for 25 years and I don't need to hear Steely Dan or Donald Fagin or even Walter Becker ever again as long as I live.
There are literally hundreds of new vinyl albums and EPs and singles being released every month these days. Tons of new and interesting and challenging music to discover. And what does Analog Planet choose to cover? The Beatles and Steely F*****g Dan.
This site is rapidly disappearing down a rabbit hole of old-guy nostalgia.
I'm in.
Love to have this album on vinyl!
Funny, I ordered a copy yesterday!
This guy's stuff is always great.
Great website. This would be sweet.
I would like to swim away with this one.
"Gurgle gurgle"
Count me in
Now I need the LP!!!
I want to win.
Denmark calling for one of the samples....
my birthday is tomorrow!!!
Great sound!
Hope the vinyl is as good as the CD.
I'll take it!
I would love to win this one!
Would like to hear this one.
don't know the queen of soul?
Great Album! Have all of his.
What not to want Donald "Enigma" Fagen? I always thought the MoFi Aja was one of my greatest sounding albums (well at least in the late 70/80's sort of way). The Cisco 30th anniv. edition blows it away to the extrem. Would love to hear what he's doing in modern times.
Thanks for doing these giveaways Mikey.
Been a fan of Fagen for decades
Me Tu Please
He can do no wrong!!
luckily my condo didn't get sunken last month.
OK I'm in
Me, please.
I want.
would love to listen to it
Fan from the early Dan days.
Something new is always goood!!
WIN, WIN,WIN
I just scored a Technics 1210 and would love to hear this on it. I am poor, supporting a wife who hoards and 3 teenagers. Give me this one bright moment - I spent all my money on the 1210 and only have scratchy Larry Gatlin records from St Vinny's. I thank you in advance.
I'm in!
Too late?
