Alan Parsons Project- Tales of Mystery and Imagination

In 1976 when Tales of Mystery and Imagination was released by the unknown Alan Parsons Project, just working behind the scenes as a recording engineer with such world-changers as the Beatles   and progressive rock titans Pink Floyd   could actually land you a recording contract yourself. “Basically he signed a blank tape,” Alan Parsons chuckles in this classic rock interview, recalling  20th Century Records President Russ Regan green- lighting a concept album, based on the books of Edgar Alan Poe, composed by the young Abbey Road studio hound and songwriter the late Eric Woolfson as The Alan Parsons Project.
