You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Ammonia Avenue is the 7th studio album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in February 1984 by Arista Records. "Don't Answer Me" was the album's lead single, and it reached the Top 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Top 20 in several countries and represents the last big hit for the Alan Parsons Project. Ammonia Avenue is one of the band's biggest-selling albums, carrying Gold certification in the US, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Platinum in France, and reaching the Top 10 in a number of countries.
The title of the album was inspired by Eric Woolfson's visit to Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in Billingham, England, where the first thing he saw was a street with miles of pipes, no people, no trees and a sign that read 'Ammonia Avenue', whose portrait was used for the front cover. The album focuses on the possible misunderstanding of industrial scientific developments from a public perspective and a lack of understanding of the public from a scientific perspective. This album was the second of three recorded on analogue equipment and mixed directly to the digital master tape.
