Description
'Pyramid', originally released in May 1978, is a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. As with other APP albums, the focus was on very high-quality studio sound production, and they recorded the album at Abbey Road Studios in London. There were a variety of different lead vocalists employed including John Miles, Colin Blunstone, Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Jack Harris and Dean Ford. Plus, a selection of session musicians such as guitarist Ian Bairnson and drummer Stuart Elliott with arrangements by Andrew Powell.

This Blu-ray disc (ABC Region Free) features a breathtaking first ever Dolby Atmos mix of an Alan Parsons Project album along with a striking 5.1 Surround Sound mix from the original multi-track master tapes by Alan Parsons plus a new stereo HD remaster of the original album by Miles Showell.

Tracklist
1. Voyager
2. What Goes Up…
3. The Eagle Will Rise Again
4. One More River
5. Can’t Take It With You
6. In The Lap Of The Gods
7. Pyramania
8. Hyper-Gamma-Spaces
9. Shadow Of A Lonely Man

The above is a standalone release of the Blu-ray that was included in the recent superdeluxed box set of Pyramid -- as predicted and wished for by Rich. :)

The release date was more than 3 weeks ago and it's been on backorder at Amazon (and several other retailers I've checked) since then. After patiently waiting for the standalone blu-ray for months after the box set, I'm being slightly less patient now.

At Amazon USA, the Blu-ray is now showing as available via "Amazon Global Store UK" with free shipping direct from Britain:

I saw that Amazon Global Store listing yesterday and figured that means it's going to become available in the US soon, likely for $5-$10 less.

You might be right, and it's also possible that third party sellers will start to populate the listing.

Historically, when "Amazon Global Store UK" is shown, it has usually meant that no more American pressings were expected to come into stock.

That's a great point, Linda. I just find it strange that the preorder link disappeared from Amazon a week prior to "release", and everywhere else it changed to Backorder on the day of release. It's hard to imagine that it won't be available as an American pressing after all the previous APP blu-rays were.

I notice the price has gone up since I ordered and I'm stuck with the order because I used a gift card to buy it.

I decided not to wait any longer since just about every site I've checked still has this as "backorder" or "out of stock," so I ordered directly from the APP site. Of course, that probably means it will be available at retail shortly.

I got the EJ Diamonds blu-ray last week. It's fantastic. I had the Who's Next box set, mostly for the blu-ray, but when the standalone blu-ray was announced a friend bought the box set from me, and now I'm happy to just have that (it takes up a whole lot less space).

John, your Pyramid blu-ray came from Amazon? It's still showing as not available in the US.
