APP "The Dutch Collection" album

The Alan Parsons Project

The Dutch Collection

Sony/BMG released this triple-set on October 2, 2006. This is the first set to contain material that had been completely remastered.

The intention of this set was to help promote the re-release of the entire catalogue of albums by The Alan Parsons Project.

To help kicks things off and get the momentum rolling The Avenue Online hosted a polling where we asked fans to submit their Top 3 APP songs. The results of that voting lead directly led to final selection of the track list. For the first time ever, the fans got to pick the songs!
