Eve is the fourth studio album by progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project. It was released in 1979. Eve's focus is on the strengths and characteristics of women, and the problems they face in the world of men. The album 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 30. "Lucifer" also is used as title track for the German political TV show Monitor.
All songs written and composed by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.
Eve was remastered and reissued in 2008 with the following bonus tracks:
Produced and engineered by Alan Parsons
Mastered by Chris Blair [UK], Wally Traugott [USA]
Executive Production: Eric Woolfson
The cover art for Eve by Hipgnosis features two women wearing veils, with their faces partially in shadow. The image wraps around from left side of the front cover to the back. Two of the women are shown on the front cover, with the third on the back. On the shaded part of each woman's face, the shadows and veils partially conceal disfiguring scars and sores.
