The Alan Parsons Project – I Robot [Stereo] (Mobile Fidelity UHQR Series Half-Speed Mastered Box Set Edition)

(AAA) — Lacquers cut from the original analog master tapes at half speed by Stan Ricker at Original Masteringworks.

I Robot - The man behind the recording of "Dark Side of the Moon" is none other than Alan Parsons. If you want to hear what is his definitive recording and a bit of the Dark Side then this is it.

The UHQR by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is the most technologically-advanced analog record of it's time. The overall sonic impact is startling, featuring extremely specific imaging, greatly expanded frequency response and vastly improved channel separation.

The UHQR weighs more than twice as much as a conventional LP and takes more than ten times longer to press. As a result, it contains far more high fidelity information within its grooves. Each UHQR is elegantly boxed and protectively packaged. Pressings were strictly limited to 5000 editions, each one hand numbered for authenticity.
