Tales Of Mystery And Imagination (LP/CD Box Set)

Tales of Mystery and Imagination was released in 1976, and consists of eleven tracks based on the works of the great American gothicist Edgar Allan Poe, and was the debut album of the Alan Parsons Project. It is an album remarkable in its ambition and execution, and in its uniqueness, as Alan Parsons, previously known as an engineer and producer, orchestrated a band with an ever-changing line-up, with himself and other Project full timer, Eric Woolfson, as auteurs.

This beautiful 40th anniversary box set, made with the full co-operation of Eric Woolfson's family and Alan Parsons, is a landmark release for the album that launched the Project.
