     Wrong, digital-breath. I quote from my copy of the "Eye In The Sky"
CD insert(what in the h??? do you call those things??):

	The album was recorded and mixed in Abbey Road Studios
	The digitial master was recorded on the SONY PCM 1610 system

     So at least the master was digital. It DOES NOT say if the rest of the
steps were done digitally or not, though. While there is some hiss, I had to
turn up the volume and practically sit next to the speaker to hear it.
