This song always goes to 11 when l hear it while driving. Have never seen the personnel that played on the song before today. All studio players?

Just picked up their greatest hits on vinyl. I hadn't paid much attention to them since the early 80s....IMO....their stuff has aged well. One of the few bands I didn't get burned out on. I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You is sooo damn good!

I love Alan Parsons Project, but it was always a studio projeckt, never intended for live shows. If I remember correctly that was one of the reasons they broke up, when one of them wanted to start touring.
Alan Parsons himself have played quite a bit live with his solo band is the last 20 years or something. Here is a live version of Games People Play form a great concert he did in Columbia of all places, a few years back:

One of the greatest and most original bands of the era.

"Don't Answer Me" is just amazing.

I love this song. Had the single 45 way back when.

When I finally heard the full album... massively disappointed.

Same. It's classic soft rock.
