The Alan Parsons Project is set to reissue their sophomore album I, Robot, which was inspired by Isaac Asimov‘s science fiction stories exploring themes of artificial intelligence.
The album will be reissued in a variety of formats on Oct. 17, including a super deluxe box set with four CDs, a remastered version of the album done at Abbey Road Studios and 70 bonus tracks, 47 of which have never been released before. It also features a two-LP vinyl edition of the album, a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes, a hardcover book and more.
The first 500 copies of the super deluxe edition will include a print signed by Parsons.
The album will also be released on black and clear vinyl, and as an expanded CD that includes four bonus tracks.
Originally released in 1977, I, Robot landed in the top 10 on the Billboard Albums chart and featured the top-40 single “I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You.” According to the description that appeared on the original album, it tells “the story of the rise of the machine and the decline of man,” and serves as a “warning that his brief dominance of this planet will probably end, because man tried to create robot in his own image.”
All formats of I, Robot are available for preorder now.
