Half-speed remastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios
Gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeve.
The Alan Parsons Project's third album, 1978's Pyramid, half-speed mastered vinyl LP.
Pyramid was a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a variety of different lead vocalists employed including John Miles, Colin Blunstone, Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Jack Harris and Dean Ford. Musicians included guitarist Ian Bairnson and drummer Stuart Elliott with arrangements by Andrew Powell (all three contributed to Kate Bush's debut The Kick Inside, released only three months before Pyramid).
The album was a worldwide hit, selling well in excess of 2 million copies and reaching the Top 30 in many territories (although not the U.K.) but couldn't repeat the Top 10 success in America of the previous album, 1977's I Robot. At the time this album was conceived, interest in pyramids and so-called pyramid power was all the rage. A pyramid could be found on the back of a dollar bill, there were stories in the newspapers about the supposed magical properties of pyramids and of course, the cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
As with other APP albums, the focus was on very high-quality studio sound production, and they recorded the album at Abbey Road Studios in London.
For this limited edition Miles Showell cut the lacquers at half speed at Abbey Road Studios in London.
