Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1982 Half-Speed master LE in gatefold cover. Highly recommended, as this is one of the great recordings that transferred well to Mofi pressing. The album was recorded and mixed at Abbey Road Studios. "I Robot" is the second studio album by the British progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released on June 1, 1977, by Arista Records. The album is loosely based on the "Robot" series of short stories by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, although it does not strictly follow any single narrative from Asimov's works. Instead, it explores themes of artificial intelligence and its potential consequences on human society. The album features a blend of rock, orchestral, and electronic music, showcasing the band's signature fusion of progressive rock and innovative studio techniques. Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson composed the music, with contributions from various session musicians and vocalists.

Musically, "I Robot" is noted for its sophisticated production and pioneering use of studio technology, including synthesizers and advanced recording techniques that were cutting-edge at the time. The album's standout tracks include "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You," "Breakdown," and the instrumental title track "I Robot." These songs reflect the band's ability to craft melodic yet complex compositions that resonate with the themes of technology and human interaction. The album achieved commercial success, charting in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and is regarded as one of The Alan Parsons Project's most influential works.
