Eve (Alan Parsons Project album)
Eve is the fourth studio album by British rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released on 27 August 1979 by Arista Records. The album's focus is on the strength and characteristics of women, and the problems they face in the world of men. It had originally been intended to focus on "great women in history", but evolved into a wider concept. "Eve" is The Alan Parsons Project's first album with singer Chris Rainbow. The album's opening instrumental "Lucifer" was a major hit in Europe, and "Damned If I Do" reached the US  Top 40, peaking at No. 27, and reaching No. 16 in Canada. "Lucifer" also is used as title track for the German political TV show "Monitor". Track listing. All songs written and composed by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. "Eve" was remastered and reissued in 2008 with the following bonus tracks: Personnel. Two of the lead singers on the album, Clare Torry and Lesley Duncan, previously performed on Alan Parsons' signature production work, Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon". In fact, it was on Parsons' recommendation that Torry was hired to record the iconic "The Great Gig  in the Sky" vocal. Cover art. The gatefold cover art for "Eve" by Hipgnosis features three women wearing veils (two on the front, one on the reverse), with their faces partially in shadow. On initial observation, the women appear beautiful, but on the shaded part of each woman's face, the shadows and veils partially conceal disfiguring scars and sores (the lesions were not real, however).
