Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, too.

APP went on to bring the “concept album” into the mainstream scoring in the charts with Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot.
After this, APP’s acceptance declined but their technical acumen as well as “progressive rock” composition skills improved.
They created several acclaimed albums after that didn’t quite catch mainstream attention.
Some folks own fist release editions of all the APP albums...cough, cough.

Eric Woolfson (RIP) was really the creative heart and soul of the APP.

Good post, I agree the first two albums were the stand out efforts. I wasnt sure the Alan Parsons slide was still alive
but added my .02 anyway.

And as for the vinyls, “I Robot” was selected by Mobile Fidelity as one of only 8 MFSL UHQR releases on 180g JVC super vinyl half-speed mastered discs @ $50 a pop (a lot of money in the 70’s) oh yes, limited to 5000 pressings each.

And that’s a mouthful (clears throat)

ALan Parsons project was good stuff.My all time favorite was Van HALENS Diver Down,I know every cut by heart. We used to fish for yellowtail snapper on the reef off Key Largo at night til midnight playing that as loud as it would go for hours.Great music.
