Alan Parsons

Producer, composer and artist Alan Parsons, who worked on the final two albums from The Beatles as second engineer, picks his Tracks of My Years.

Alan Parsons, the legendary Grammy Award winning producer, composer and artist picks his Tracks of My Years with music from John Miles, Neil Sedaka, The Hollies and Al Stewart. Alan was second engineer on the last two albums by The Beatles, Abbey Road and Let It Be. After that he became a fully-fledged recording engineer and went on to work with Paul McCartney and The Hollies, among many others. However it was his contribution as engineer on Pink Floyd鈥檚 classic The Dark Side Of The Moon that really got him the world鈥檚 attention. That soon led to striking successes as a producer, notably with Pilot, John Miles and Steve Harley. He also produced the hugely successful Year Of The Cat album with Al Stewart and two albums with American prog rock band Ambrosia. In 1975 he met Eric Woolfson who not only became his manager, but joined forces with Alan as a songwriting and performing partner for what became known as The Alan Parsons Project. Alan鈥檚 long time hobby has been performing magic and his brand new album, The Secret, showcases his own passion for the craft. The album sees a return to the pop rock sound with symphonic and progressive rock interludes which the Alan Parsons Project was known for.
