Alan Parsons Project- “I Robot”!! Where is it?!

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

I’ve (as well as many other I presume) been waiting decades for this to come out in any MULTI-CHANNEL format to come out!!

What is the delay? Isn’t it his most/best selling and popular release to date? Are the original master tapes missing or lost forever? What’s the deal?

If someone here has any background on this please share!!

Mark Powell (head of Esoteric Recordings) said they are trying to release more Alan Parsons Project deluxe editions in the future, but nothing is finalized yet, and any such releases would not be out until at least 2022.

Not sure of this, but I think the best selling APP album is Eye in the Sky. But I, Robot can't be too far behind, (or ahead if I'm wrong on that).

Wasnt the next re-issue already announced to be Turn of a Friendly Card?

Maybe it's taking longer due to Covid and he's decided to mix in Atmos

Still need "The Turn Of A Friendly Card" also, but would much prefer I Robot!

In the U.S., three Project albums have been certified platinum:

• I Robot
• Turn Of a Friendly Card
• Eye In the Sky

Several others have been certified gold.

In some of the press interviews that were done to promote Ammonia Avenue, someone from Esoteric stated that Turn of a Friendly Card would be the next album to get this treatment. He said I Robot would come after that.

I’ve already got Mystery & Imagination just want I Robot…the others as well as Al Stewart’s Year of the Cat I really could care less for 1 or 2 songs on each…too pricey for so little I’m interested in….just MHO

Yeah, but at least he doesn't make you buy a huge box set filled with useless Merch. and vinyl (Not yet anyway!)

Forgot I’ve also got Eye In the Sky…but They’ve also got big box sets if you want right? I could be wrong but other than Mystery & Sky aren’t the rest BIG BOX SETS ONLY?

Ammonia Avenue is available as a stand alone blu-ray.

The Raven (song) is the best (I like the Alan Parsons remix one on his Valid Path album too, which is DTS only) both in 5.1 surround. Eye in the Sky is great also (I have that on Blu-Ray). I've only listened to I Robot once (stereo only which is probably why I haven't played it more). They should move to Atmos, though. Neural X works pretty well, though.

Hopefully it's well-mastered...

I Robot in surround? Sign me up!

And the fact that Steve Harley sings on it makes it a no-brainer

I’d be ALL IN for the SDE of “I-ROBOT” one of my favorite SPACECADET titles of all time music for headphones only or MULTI-CHANNEL any format PLEEZZZZE

Well, with Eye In The Sky & Ammonia Avenue, just have fingers crossed it's a going trend

 

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

Just found out maybe the reason why I ROBOT hasn’t been released yet might be because of RIGHTS ….. seems Alan is trying to get the RIGHTS back from Arista

Anyone know the difference between the 2 versions of the SACD from MF? The are 2, 1 with a Green bar going across the top and 1 with a Red bar

I never knew it was released…only heard rumors that it was way back at the turn of the century…maybe it got pulled before release

Do you have a discogs link to a Green top SACD, I only see two, both with Red Tops?

And that DTS is probably just an Up-mix

No idea - I have the Red bar release, maybe its just a different batch so they can charge as a limited edition.

I Googled “which sounds better the DVD-A or SACD” and a bunch of picks came up… that’s why I asked
