The Alan Parsons Project - The Sicilian Defence (1979) [Previously Unreleased 2014]

Posted By: Andi_Deris

Date: 7 Apr 2014 06:18:59

The Sicilian Defence was our attempt at quickly fulfilling our contractual obligation after I Robot, Pyramid and Eve had been delivered. The album was rejected by Arista, not surprisingly, and we then renegotiated our deal for the future and the next album, The Turn of a Friendly Card. The Sicilian Defence album was never released and … The album is now getting an official release on March 31st in a boxset chronicling all of the Project's albums.

Notes

In interviews made before his 2009 death, Woolfson said he planned to release one track from the "Sicilian" album, which in 2008 appeared as a bonus track on a CD re-issue of the Eve album. Sometime later, Alan had changed his mind about the album, and announced that it would finally be released on an upcoming Project box set called 'The Complete Albums Collection' in 2014 for the first time as a bonus disc.
