Love this DMM pressing! What a sound quality!
I made two needledrops from this vinyl record - You can find them on the right side in the videos:
The Alan Parsons Project - Dancing On A Highwire (Ammonia Avenue) (1984 European & UK Vinyl)
The Alan Parsons Project - Pipeline (1984 UK & Europe Vinyl)

I’m not overwhelmed but I’ll admit that I think this is the best the “new” APP can sound. Nice job but a tad too clinical/digital for me. I can imagine the cd sounds exactly the same.

In the nicest possible way to the Other Review....What ? ? ?
This album is fantastic.
Yes there's four 'Singers' but so what, they all don't fall on their arses vocally so...?
There's a few rock anthems that Should Have caught on but didn't and the rest is kinda surprisingly funky if you can say that about 'prog'.
If you even like THAT Single a TINY bit = buy this it's well worth it !
