It's easy to confuse this triple-disc Essential Alan Parsons Project with the double-disc Essential Alan Parsons Project. After all, it not only has the same name, it has the same cover art & a sequencing so similar to the double that it takes some close inspection to realize that they are two different beasts -- & that's even with a whole extra disc here!

Although such an ambitious undertaking would likely be a disaster for most debuting artists, Parsons had engineered albums by the Beatles & Pink Floyd, making the British musician more than familiar with adventurous, highly textured records. TALES opens with no less than film legend Orson Welles providing narration over Pars ...
