In the liner notes to the remastered CD of Tales, Parsons states that "The Alan Parsons Project" was originally a name to refer to "the thing you are holding in your hand." That is, the Tales album WAS the project. It was only after they became satisfied with that release and decided to release more music that the "project" began to refer to the band itself.
