Eve is the fourth studio album by British rock band the Alan Parsons Project, released on 27 August 1979 by Arista Records. The album's focus is on the strength and characteristics of women, and the problems they face in the world of men. It had originally been intended to focus on "great women in history", but evolved into a wider concept. The album name was the same as Eric Woolfson's mother-in-law.
Eve is the Alan Parsons Project's first album with singer Chris Rainbow. The album's opening instrumental "Lucifer" was a major hit in Europe, and "Damned If I Do" reached the US Top 40, peaking at No. 27 and reaching No. 16 in Canada. The album also reached No. 1 in West Germany, where it spent over a year on the charts. Billboard reported that it had sold 400,000 copies in that country by September 1979. "Lucifer" also is used as title track for the German political TV show Monitor.
