    One of the Alan Parsons Project's stronger albums in my humble opinion. It's a decent pressing and a notable entry in his discography, but for the penultimate Alan Parsons you'll want "I Robot" or "Eye In The Sky."

      A very good album. A mix of well produced and easy Listening to a more complex play. Very enjoyable

        I got this from a $1 bargain bin because it had the song, Time. Perfect vinyl condition, but the sleeve was worn. Well, Time ends up being the only song I like on this record. Nevertheless, it was as cheap as a song purchase on iTunes and sounds better on vinyl anyway. So, I'll consider it a win!
