The Alan Parsons Project Reached 50 Million Sales
The Alan Parsons Project reached 50 million album sales, following the partnership of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson that began in 1974.
Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson met in the cafeteria at Abbey Road Studios in the summer of 1974. Parsons had received his first Grammy nomination for his engineering work on Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon. Woolfson then proposed a musical partnership to record songs based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Tales Of Mystery And Imagination was recorded mainly at Abbey Road Studios. A recording of Orson Welles speaking for A Dream Within A Dream could not be included on the original album because Welles was late. His narration was added to the album in a CD remix made in 1987.
The Raven features Alan Parsons’ vocals processed electronically using a vocoder. Arthur Brown performs the vocals on The Tell-Tale Heart, while John Miles provides the lead vocals on The Cask Of Amontillado. The Alan Parsons Project has reached total album sales of 50 million.
