[2014-08-03] Pilot "A Pilot Project" YASCA of Alan Parsons Project (David Paton Songs)

Did a search and saw no mention of this; stumbled across a listing on eBay a few weeks back.

Quote:

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Pilot's debut album, David Paton, Ian Bairnson, and Stuart Tosh have reunited as Pilot. As a first project out of the gate, it is only fitting that David and Ian would turn to The Alan Parsons Project. While Stuart played on the first two Project albums and Billy Lyall the first, it was David and Ian, along with drummer Stuart Elliott from Cockney Rebel, who would become the band behind the Project for years to come.

Fun fact: David Paton and Billy Lyall were in early versions of The Bay City Rollers.

Ordered mine. Loved "Pilot", have all their CD's including solo stuff so this was a no brainer.

I have all the Alan Parsons Project (et. al.) cd's, including solo stuff so this was a no brainer... as well.
I just wish that I LIKED this "Pilot Project" collection.
I wish they hadn't gone down the road of carbon-copy covers.

In some ways I agree but its great to hear this with today's production values. Actually I was surprised how good the production is. I'm wondering if Alan Parsons was involved?
