“I can’t remember exactly how long we were in Abbey Road for Dark Side of the Moon,” admits Alan Parsons, the man who, over 50 years ago, engineered one of the best-selling and influential albums of all time. “Probably a year and a half, something like that. Not constant! A week here, two weeks there, back in for a mammoth recording session, then off working with someone else.
“Pink Floyd were always pretty intense in the studio; there wasn’t a lot of sitting around. If we were in the studio, there was work to be done. The only time we downed tools was if there was an important football match or Monty Python on telly. Everything stopped for Python!”
