Release Notes:

____________________________________________________________________



The maiden voyage of the Alan Parsons Project, 1976's TALES OF

MYSTERY & IMAGINATION, finds Parsons paying homage to the

thrilling work of suspense legend Edgar Allan Poe. Although such

an ambitious undertaking would likely be a disaster for most

debuting artists, Parsons had engineered albums by the Beatles

and Pink Floyd, making the British musician more than familiar

with adventurous, highly textured records.



TALES opens with no less than film legend Orson Welles providing

narration over Parsons's mesmerizing melody for "A Dream Within

a Dream," while "The Raven" and "(The System of) Doctor Tarr

and Professor Fether" prove to be the most pop-oriented tracks

on the album, employing electronically treated vocals and

prog-rock pomp and circumstance to convey the arch

strangeness of these stories. Much of TALES consists of

keyboard-driven instrumentals that capture the suspenseful

nature of Poe's work, most notably the haunting "Intermezzo"

and the spine-chilling "Fall," both part of the "Fall of the

House of Usher" suite. To listen to TALES OF MYSTERY &

IMAGINATION is to hear a young artist challenging himself from

his creative outset and crafting an intriguing set of songs in

the process.
