This is the MoFi UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM single LP reissue of The Alan Parsons Project I Robot mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl to deliver reference-level clarity and dynamic range.

If you struggle with noisy or compressed reissues this edition reduces generational loss and surface noise so your system can reveal instrument separation, low-frequency extension, and transparent highs without fatigue.

  • Mastered from original master tapes for accurate tonal balance and timing
  • UltraDisc One-Step UD1S process to minimize transfer generations
  • 180g 33RPM single LP pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl for consistent groove integrity
  • Nearly inaudible noise floor with strengthened channel separation for three-dimensional imaging
  • Numbered limited-edition release with foil-stamped jackets and slipcase matching original graphics

Unlike mass-market reissues that use multiple transfer steps and varied pressing plants, this UD1S single-LP focuses on fidelity and playback consistency so you can evaluate your system or simply enjoy the record as intended. Compared to earlier pressings you should notice clearer transients and more studio-like spatial cues.

Proven in listening comparisons and intended for reference playback, this edition is suited to collectors and serious listeners who want documented sourcing and manufacturing details. Learn more about specifications and availability today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM reissue good for audiophiles?
Yes. This UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM reissue is designed for serious listeners because it is mastered from the original master tapes and produced using a single-step lacquer-to-plate process that reduces generational loss. The 180g high-density vinyl and careful pressing yield a very low noise floor, strong dynamics, and improved instrumental separation compared with standard pressings. Audiophiles with a mid- to high-end turntable, a proper phono stage, and a listening room that supports reference-level playback will get the most benefit. Note that the audible improvements are most apparent on well-aligned systems; entry-level players may not fully reveal the extra resolution.
Will this 33RPM, 180g LP play on my turntable?
Yes. This release is a standard 12-inch 33RPM LP and will play on any turntable that supports that format, but the 180g weight means you should verify tracking and setup for best results. Heavier vinyl benefits from stable platters and properly adjusted tonearm tracking force and anti-skate to avoid excessive wear or mistracking. Using a good phono preamp and a clean, well-aligned cartridge will also help reveal the record’s low noise floor and wide dynamics. Very low-end or poorly calibrated players may not track the record optimally, so minor setup adjustments are recommended for heavy pressings.
How does this UltraDisc One-Step edition differ from other reissues of I Robot?
This edition differs primarily in its mastering and pressing method. It uses a one-step lacquer process derived from the original master tapes, which reduces the number of transfer generations and preserves greater detail and dynamics. It is presented as a single, 33RPM 180g LP to maintain full-bandwidth playback and minimize compromises from multi-disc or speed-altered formats. The pressing and quality control aim for a very low noise floor and improved imaging, and the package is a numbered, premium sleeve reflecting the original artwork. Collectors and reference listeners will notice the technical and presentation differences, while listeners on basic systems may experience smaller audible gains.
How long will this vinyl last with regular play and how should I care for it?
With proper care, this pressing can last for decades. The heavier 180g vinyl is more resistant to warping and handling damage, and a high-quality pressing with a low noise floor reduces the need for repeated cleaning or multiple plays. To maximize lifespan, store records vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, clean the stylus regularly, use the correct tracking force and alignment, and keep the sleeve and outer cover to prevent dust. Frequent play with an incorrectly set-up tonearm or a worn stylus will accelerate wear, so maintenance and correct setup are essential for longevity.
What packaging and presentation come with this limited-edition reissue?
This limited-edition reissue ships in a numbered slipcase with faithful-to-the-original artwork and foil-stamped jackets for a premium visual presentation. The record is presented as a single 33RPM 180g LP for convenient playback and is mastered from the original master tapes to reflect the studio sound. The deluxe packaging is intended for collectors and fans who value both audio quality and presentation. Keep in mind that this configuration focuses on audio fidelity and collectible presentation rather than including additional bonus discs or digital download codes.
