Post Description

Original Sin is a concept album performed by Pandora"s Box and produced by Jim Steinman. Steinman wrote the majority of this album, although there are a couple of cover versions. It was the group"s only album, and was a commercial flop.

Although the album was not a commercial success (except in South Africa), many of the songs have gone platinum with other artists. Steinman is said to be very proud of the songs on this album, even though Original Sin sold very poorly in comparison with his highest selling albums and songs. The album charted at #43 in Sweden.
