The Alan Parsons Project was of course a collaboration between composer, musician and manger Eric Woolfson and celebrated producer and engineer Alan Parsons. The Turn of a Friendly Card was their fifth album and was inspired by the period in which both Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons had resided in Monte Carlo!

The album itself was recorded in Paris, with contributions from musicians such as Ian Bairnson (guitars), David Paton (bass), Stuart Elliott (drums) with Eric Woolfson playing keyboards and providing lead vocals, along with Elmer Gantry, Chris Rainbow and Lenny Zakatek.

The album did well, reaching the top 10 or top 20 of the album charts in many territories, including the USA, although, as was often the case, this level of success wasn’t repeated in the UK, where it peaked at #38.

This new deluxe edition features a remastered version of the album and 32 bonus tracks, including rough mixes, single edits, alternates and audio rarities from Eric Woolfson’s songwriting diaries.
