The Alan Parsons Project I Robot, widely regarded as one of the greatest concept albums of all time, is reissued in a variety of different formats including a limited edition 33 1/3 180-gram clear vinyl LP, half-speed remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road studios.

The Alan Parsons Project second studio album was originally released in July 1977, draws conceptually on author Isaac Asimov's science fiction Robot stories, exploring philosophical themes regarding artificial intelligence. The album was a worldwide hit selling in excess of 2 million copies, achieving platinum and gold status in numerous countries.

Like other Alan Parsons Project albums, there were a variety of different lead vocalists employed including Steve Harley, Allan Clarke, Lenny Zakatek, Peter Straker, Jack Harris and Jaki Whitren. Plus, a selection of session musicians such as guitarist Ian Bairnson and drummer Stuart Tosh with arrangements by Andrew Powell.

For most APP albums Eric Woolfson had duplicate analog tapes run on a second master machine, tapes that were hardly played. These vinyl formats were cut from a high-resolution archive transfer made from the rarely played masters.

The Alan Parsons Project was a progressive rock music entity comprised of engineer/ producer Alan Parsons and songwriter, musician and manager Eric Woolfson. They released 10 concept albums which focused on subject matter such as science fiction, supernatural, literary and sociological themes between 1976 - 1987 and have sold more than 55 million albums worldwide.
