Alan Parsons Project

Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976)

Bought this album when it came out and have loved it ever since.

Here's my slightly tweaked version of the original vinyl mix.

I made the mistake of buying the remix CD years later:

In 1987, Parsons completely remixed the album,

including additional keyboard and guitar passages

and narration (by Orson Welles), as well as updating the production style

to include heavy reverb and the gated reverb snare drum sound,

which was popular in the 1980s

...ugh!

That version is crap.

Arthur Brown and John Miles!
