Which British group had an album made in the early 1980's that has never been released to this day?

Queen?

No sorry Colin.Let me help you ,it was a British progressive rock and pop group.

Ok mozart,

just because I'm Thick as a Brick ..I'm going to give you a muliple choice answer:

Is it a) Jethro Tull

b) Genesis

c) Yes

I'll move on to other possibilities ..d, e and f later, cos my brain hurts right now.

Nice try dance girl but not it.

d) Pink floyd..they argued a lot..so maybe something didn't get released.

e)Simple Minds...record company arguments..so they are a possibility

f) ok...time for another clue mozart

Not Pink Floyd but they were very much influenced by the band. This group was not a band in the traditional sense, it was the collaboration of two people, never appeared live on a stage.

If you are thinking of Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton-John, it was actually cut in the early '70s!

Nope sorry Sailracer ,looking for two men.

Hi mozart,

"Sicilian Defence" by The Alan Parsons Project.

I have a winner here.
* In 1981 [[1]] Parsons/Woolfson and their record company Arista were stalled in contract renegotiations when on March 5th the two submitted an all-instrumental atonal album tentatively titled, "The Sicilian Defense" (an aggressive opening move in chess with three pawns advancing in a gambit that allows for subsequent attack) arguably to get out of their contract. Aristas refusal to release said album had two known effects: the negotiations led to a renewed contract and the album has remained unreleased to this day.

"Time" and "eye in the sky" are my two favorite ones. Good job dance girl.

you may listen to "time" here

Good JOB dg! And from the time you posted, it doesn't even appear that you stayed up all night thinking about it!

When I saw the answer, I slapped my forehead and said "Doh!" cause I spend considerable time trying to remember studio bands of the decade, and really enjoyed The Alan Parsons Project! When the mind starts to go it's a very sad thing

Thanks giz..and it only took me 6 guesses, and some pathetic pleading with mozart for more clues !

But I had a sneaking suspicion that mozart wasn't a fan of Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard ..DG and SR on the other hand have all their records.
