Freudiana

This album was written and recorded for EMI after the APP Gaudi album, which was the last contractually required APP album with Arista Records (now part of Sony/ BMG).

Eric was inspired by the life and work of Sigmund Freud, partly due to the fact that his wife was studying psychology at the time. He was particularly inspired by Freud's English residence in Hampstead, London.

Although Eric and Alan began to work together on this album in the same way that they had done with the 10 previous APP albums, during the making of the album, it was decided not to release it as an Alan Parsons Project album. It was marketed by the record company with a sticker on the front which reads "Conceived and Written by Eric Woolfson, Creator of The Alan Parsons Project. Produced and Engineered by Alan Parsons". It became the basis for the marketing of a musical 'Freudiana' which was premiered and staged in Vienna, Austria in 1990 and marked a new direction for Eric into musical theatre.

The Freudiana album was released by EMI in 1990 and is still available to buy.
