RIP - Eric Woolfson (Alan Parsons Project)
Eric Woolfson was the co-founder of Alan Parsons Project ...
Mr Woolfson and Alan Parsons split up in 1990
he sang lead vocals on some of APP's biggest hits such as "Time" and "Eye In The Sky"
Eric passed away on 1 December (2009).
He was 64.
i can't think of a better tune than my favorite APP track, one which till this day i feel could and should have done better than it did in the charts ...
so, even if you have heard this song (to death) ... at least give "Time" another listen, as a mark of respect to the late Mr Eric Woolfson.
Rest In Peace, Mr Woolfson, wherever you may be now ... but my guess is ... he's probably somewhere amongst the stars ...

Could've Done Better : Yes - Love Will Find A Way
Title : Love Will Find A Way Artist : Yes Year : 1987 Chart : #30 Hot 100; #1 Mainstream Rock chart Album : Big Generator
about the song : this was the first single off Yes' "Big Generator" album, the follow-up album to "90125" which spawned the US #1 hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", their biggest chart even to this day (not that they've ever had much success before or after this monster hit anyway lol)
album trivia :
The vinyl record cover art is almost identical to that of the CD, but on different colouring: yellow is replaced by cyan and red by purple. The word YES is in the upper part of the letter G, and the symbol is of red colour and is located on the lower part of the letter G.
i have got to dig up my old Vinyl copy to have a look one of these days ...
it's been stored away in one of the cartons all these years, ever since my turntable broke down
i do hope to DIY replace the belting soon as the original one had been melted in the hot & humid climate of Singapore lol ...
as a result, the tonearm could not be lowered onto the vinyl
it's an old Aiwa turntable (LX120) ...
i don't suppose anyone knows what the original size of the belting (black rubberband) is ... anyone ? lol
audio samplers :
Love Will Find A Way
audio & video a tad out of sync lol
