The Alan Parsons Project ) Stereotomy ) 1985 (Arista US)

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

Stereotomy is the 9th studio album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in December 1985 by Arista Records. The album was recorded and mixed at Mayfair Studios London between October 1984 and August 1985. The orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
The album was recorded entirely on digital equipment.
The word "stereotomy" is taken from "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe. It refers to the cutting of solid shapes into different forms, and is used as a metaphor for the way that famous people (singers, actors, etc.) are 'shaped' by the demands of fame.
The first pressing "stereo" cover with outer red/blue PVC translucent slipcover with inner cardboard cover and lyrics/credits printed on reverse, generic PVC Arista inner sleeve.
