I Robot/The Alan Parsons Project



A near miss: I Robot (1977), the second album from The Alan Parsons Project (following Tales of Mystery and Imagination), was supposed to be based on themes explored in the nine linked short stories featured in Isaac Asimov's book I, Robot, published in 1950. Asimov was reportedly enthusiastic about the idea, but apparently the rights were unavailable, so the final album's connection to the book is tenuous at best, and the title was subtly changed: The comma was removed.
