    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 it 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 !
