One of progressive rock's most celebrated debut albums, now preserved in uncirculated condition for serious vinyl collectors.
Originally released in June 1976, Tales of Mystery and Imagination introduced the world to The Alan Parsons Project: the studio partnership of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. Built around the horror stories and poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, the album reimagines works like "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "To One in Paradise" as rich, orchestrated rock, a concept that would define the progressive and art rock sound of the late '70s.
The featured cast of musicians is remarkable. Arthur Brown of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, John Miles, and Terry Sylvester of The Hollies each lend their voices, while the full lineups of Ambrosia and Pilot appear alongside Francis Monkman of Curved Air and Sky. The result is a landmark recording that went on to achieve platinum certification in Germany, Canada, and beyond, selling nearly a million copies worldwide.
