Barcode: 0711297534269 / Cat: COOKBOX842 / 6 LP / Label: COOKING VINYL

The Alan Parsons Project "Pyramid" viene ripubblicato in una varietà di formati diversi, tra cui cofanetto Super Deluxe contenente 4 CD, un Blu-ray con audio surround/audio HD, due vinili 45 giri rimasterizzati a mezza velocità, un libro con copertina rigida da 60 pagine, la cartelletta stampa, poster e cartolina.

Il loro terzo album in studio, "Pyramid", fu pubblicato originariamente nel maggio 1978. Si trattava di un concept album incentrato sulle piramidi di Giza. All'epoca in cui questo album fu concepito, l'interesse per le piramidi e il cosiddetto potere delle piramidi era di gran moda. Una piramide si trovava sul retro di una banconota da un dollaro, sui giornali si leggevano storie sulle presunte proprietà magiche delle piramidi e, naturalmente, sulla copertina di "Dark Side Of the Moon" dei Pink Floyd.

Come per altri album degli APP, l'attenzione si concentrò su una produzione sonora in studio di altissima qualità, e l'album fu registrato negli Abbey Road Studios di Londra. Furono impiegati diversi cantanti solisti, tra cui John Miles, Colin Blunstone, Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Jack Harris e Dean Ford. Inoltre, una selezione di musicisti di sessione come il chitarrista Ian Bairnson e il batterista Stuart Elliott con gli arrangiamenti di Andrew Powell.

L'album è stato un successo mondiale con oltre due milioni di copie vendute, ottenendo il disco di platino e d'oro in numerosi paesi, tra cui Stati Uniti, Germania e Canada.
