It is one of the band's biggest-selling albums, carrying an RIAA certification of gold and reaching the Top 10 (and sometimes the n°1) in numerous countries.〔()〕 The Phil Spector-influenced million-selling smash hit "Don't Answer Me" was ''Ammonia Avenues lead single; it reached the Top 15 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts as well as the fourth position on the Adult contemporary chart. The single also reached the Top 20 in several countries〔()〕 and represents the last big hit for the Alan Parsons Project. "Prime Time" was a follow-up release that fared well in the top 40. "Since The Last Goodbye" was a minor hit. "You Don't Believe" had already been released as both a single and a new song on 1983's "The Best Of The Alan Parsons Project" compilation. Music videos for "Don't Answer Me" and "Prime Time" were produced in 1984, the former with art and animation by MW Kaluta. The latter video is inspired by John Collier's story "Evening Primrose". ==Background and release== The title of the album was inspired by Eric Woolfson's visit to Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in Billingham, England, where the first thing he saw was a street with miles of pipes, no people, no trees and a sign that read 'Ammonia Avenue'. The album focuses on the possible misunderstanding of industrial scientific developments from a public perspective and a lack of understanding of the public from a scientific perspective.〔 〕 This album was the second of three recorded on analogue equipment and mixed directly to the digital master tape. ''Ammonia Avenue'' was remastered and reissued in 2008 with bonus tracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ammonia Avenue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
