........... Original Master recording. MFSL Mobile Fidelity Soundlab UHQR ... eine der seltensten und bestklingendsten Platten die jemals hergestellt wurden. Das original Masterband welches zur Produktion dieses audiophilen Highlights zur Verfügung stand war von exquisiter Qualität. Was dann die Spezialisten von MFSL daraus machten kann man nur als sensationell bezeichnen. Nie wieder wurde vermutlich solch ein Aufwand zur Herstellung einer LP betrieben (was vor über 20 Jahren für einen horrenden Preis sorgte). Sorgfältigst mit der Halfspeed Schneidetechnik geschnitten und in 200 Gramm Virgin Vinyl gepresst wurden weltweit nur 5000 Exemplare hergestellt. Jede LP ist einzeln handnumeriert und mit einem vom Präsidenten von MFSL unterschriebenen Zertifikat versehen. Die LP befindet sich im Topzustand(im Original Versiegelungsfolie). ...........

The man behind the recording of Dark Side of the Moon is none other than Alan Parsons. If you want to hear what is his definitive recording with a little bit of 'Dark Side' thrown in then this is it.
I Robot was produced and engineered by Alan at Abbey Road Studios and is an audiophiles dream recording.
MFSL UHQR were the most technologically advanced records of its time. Among it's many features is a far advanced frequency and improved channel separation. UHQR albums take longer to press and are heavier than traditional albums. They were always boxed in box sets with special sleeves and packaging.
I Robot is the second album by progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, engineered by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson in 1977. It was released by Arista Records in 1977 and re-released on CD in 1984 and 2007. I Robot is an art rock album that draws conceptually on author Isaac Asimov's science fiction Robot trilogy, exploring philosophical themes regarding artificial intelligence.
The album was intended to be based on the I, Robot stories written by Asimov, and Woolfson actually spoke with Asimov, who was enthusiastic about the idea. As the rights already had been granted to a TV/movie company, the album's title was altered slightly by removing the comma, and the theme and lyrics were made to be more generically about robots rather than specific to the Asimov universe. The cover inlay read: "I Robot... The story of the rise of the machine and the decline of man, which paradoxically coincided with his discovery of the wheel... and a warning that his brief dominance of this planet will probably end, because man tried to create robot in his own image."

Es handelt sich hierbei um eine audiophile Rarität und eine der bestklingendsten Schallplatten die jemals hergestellt wurden. Das original Masterband welches zur Produktion dieses audiophilen Highlights zur Verfügung stand, war von exquisiter Qualität. Was dann die Spezialisten von MFSL daraus machten kann man nur als sensationell bezeichnen. Nie wieder wurde vermutlich solch ein Aufwand zur Herstellung einer LP betrieben (was vor über 20 Jahren für einen horrenden Preis sorgte). Sorgfältigst mit der Halfspeed Schneidetechnik geschnitten und in 200 Gramm Virgin Vinyl gepresst wurden weltweit nur 5000 Exemplare hergestellt. Jede LP ist einzeln handnumeriert und mit einem vom Präsidenten von MFSL unterschriebenen Zertifikat versehen.
MFSL UHQR Schallplatten wurden aus einem besonderen Kunststoff, mit der Bezeichnung „Super Vinyl“ hergestellt. „Super Vinyl“ wurde unter der Verwendung von hoch polimerisierten Kunstharzen, mit einem hohen Anteil an Vinylacetat gefertigt. Die Eigenschaften dieses Werkstoffs sind eine enorme Elastizität, extreme Strapazierfähigkeit und ein exzellenter Signal-Rauschabstand (signal-to-noise-ratio). Der Frequenzgang ist so präzise, dass über einen Bereich von 20Hz – 20kHz, Abweichungen von nur +/- 0,5 dB auftreten..............
