So looking through the
list of releases for the upcoming Record Store Day, I noticed an interesting vinyl Alan Parsons Project release. It's called
Pyramid: Work in Progress. Could this be a prelude to an upcoming box set? I think we all assumed that
I Robot would be next. While that certainly would be my first choice, I wouldn't object to finally getting
Pyramid in surround.
This ‘Work In Progress’ version of The Alan Parsons Project’s iconic
Pyramid album contains early demos, rough mixes and Eric Woolfson’s Songwriting Diary versions of the nine tracks that appear on the
Pyramid album. Six of these tracks are previously unreleased and all of them are making their first appearance on vinyl.
Housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve with an accompanying 12” x 12” insert, this orange vinyl LP is strictly limited to 4200 copies worldwide.
