The Alan Parsons Project Book Opens for Pre-Order
A book about The Alan Parsons Project is now open for pre-order and will be released this autumn by Rocket 88.
The Alan Parsons Project sold 50 million albums during their career. Eric Woolfson made the decision to name the group after Alan Parsons due to Parsons' industry recognition from working with Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney. Clive Davis offered the duo a multi-album deal, and the band released nine albums under the Arista label until their breakup in 1990. The band Pilot provided the majority of backing track recordings for the songs across the group's 14-year career.
Davis also met with Steven Spielberg and John Williams to feature music from the album I Robot in the film Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. In addition, Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons discussed the advantages of the new format in a promotional film made for Philips compact discs.
In 2016, a deluxe box set of the Tales album was released, and a 50th-anniversary edition is now being prepared with Cooking Vinyl. Parsons won a Grammy in 2019 for the reissue of the album Eye In The Sky and received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth II two years later. A book on The Alan Parsons Project is currently open for pre-order and will be published this autumn by Rocket 88.
