Audiophile Edition 45rpm 180g Double LP!
Cut at Half-Speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios!
Pressed at Optimal!

1979 Grammy Award Nominee:
• Best Engineered Recording - Non-Classical: Pyramid

The Alan Parsons Project's Pyramid is re-issued in a variety of different formats including this 2LP heavyweight, 45 RPM Audiophile edition. The first pressing comes with a numbered Obi-strip. This edition was expertly cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, October 2023 on a customized Neumann VMS 80 lathe at half speed using high-resolution archive transfers taken from the original 1978 master tapes. Pressed at Optimal, Europe's premium pressing plant.

Their third studio album Pyramid was originally released in May 1978. It was a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. 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 The Alan Parsons Project albums, the focus was on very high-quality studio sound production, and they recorded the album at Abbey Road Studios in London. There were a variety of different lead vocalists employed including John Miles, Colin Blunstone, Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Jack Harris and Dean Ford. Plus, a selection of session musicians such as guitarist Ian Bairnson and drummer Stuart Elliot with arrangements by Andrew Powell.

The album was a worldwide hit selling well in excess of two million copies, achieving platinum and gold status in numerous territories including the USA, Germany and Canada.
