In the liner notes for "From The Top," Richard explains how he and John Bettis wrote "Eve."

"Eve" written in 1968, was inspired by an episode of a suspense anthology that was on TV at the time. Different stories were featured each week with a variety of guest stars. One starred Carol Lynley and was entitled "Eve." This triggered in me the opening lines both lyrically and musically, after which I completed the melody and John did likewise with the lyrics.

========================================

"Eve" was the first episode of a British suspense anthology television series called "Journey to the Unknown. The story occupies the half-world between reality and madness. It involves a department store window dresser named Albert Baker, who has fallen in love with a store-window mannequin.

To Albert, "Eve" is a real person, but his love is threatened when she is doomed to be destroyed with other discarded mannequins.

Was "Eve" ever anything but a store mannequin? Or did she really come to life for Albert?

Cosmic.Hex is offering the full 50-minute episode of "Eve" available for free download.
