Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card (Box Set in Feb 2023, standalone Blu-Ray in May)

Posted on Facebook:

Today marks the 12th anniversary of Eric Woolfson’s passing. To quote Eric ‘The most satisfying album for me to make was The Turn of a Friendly Card. We made it in Paris in six weeks, which was incredible considering that most of our albums took a year to make’.
We are delighted to announce today that we are currently working on a new Deluxe Box set of The Turn of a Friendly Card album to be released in Spring 2022.

I hope there is a stand alone blu-ray like the others from APP.

Yes I agree ,why have it any other way .

With an Atmos mix.

With an Atmos mix.

Many of you may have noticed that I was luke warm to cold regarding Atmos for a very long time; but now that I have it, I want EVERYTHING in Atmos. I'd bet the house that Parsons would achieve magnificent results with the format.

I would love to have this on a stand alone blu-ray. Previous releases suggest it will. The only APP release that I want to do the deep dive on is I Robot. Hopefully we'll hear something about it. 2022 is the 45th anniversary.

 

[The Bright Side]

My first APP album, bought back in 2006 or 2007. Still love it to this day, can't wait for the surround version. Very much hoping, too, that there'll be a standalone again.

I hope the mix is a little more on the warmer side with not so many highs eq wise.

My first one, too. Also, my favourite. As I worked in gambling, it had to be.

My favorite APP album. I might even spring for the deluxe box of this one.

 

[Sal1950]

IMO this is Alan's best work and I can't wait for the mch release. Hoping this sparks a release of more of the earlier catalog in surround.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Hoping for a great mix and mastering this time...

Me too. I was hoping I Robot would be next up. Still, this record is a good one and I'll add it to my collection if a single disc is available.

Still waiting for “I ROBOT” here….still to this day my fave APP title by a loooong shot!!

Looks like AP is releasing these chronologically backwards. So hopefully, I Robot will be next. The three DVD-Audios of APP titles are spectacular even [though only] in stereo.

Then Eve was left out of remixes.
No…my fault…Eve would be next then…and Pyramid….

I want them all
And I want them now.

My sentiments exactly. It is hard to determine the order of these releases. It seems like he's working on the even years...1976, 1982, 1984, and now 1980. Maybe Pyramid(78) or Vulture Culture (84) is next after Turn.

I take that back, AA was released in December 83.

They haven’t been —“Tales” followed by “Eye In the Sky” followed by “Ammonia Avenue”, but I hope “I Robot” is next as well.
