The Alan Parsons Project ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ 40th

Due out 2nd December 2016
UMC are delighted to announce the 40th Anniversary release of The Alan Parsons Project, Tales of Mystery and Imagination. This beautiful box set has been produced with the full co-operation of Eric Woolfson’s family and Alan Parsons and is a landmark release for the album that launched the Project.

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

The 40th Anniversary deluxe edition of Tales of Mystery and Imagination comprises 3 CDs, 1 Blu-Ray and 2 vinyl LPs. The 3 CDs present the original 1976 mix, the 1987 remix plus a whole CD of over 70 minutes of previously unreleased bonus material. , Miles Showell half-speed mastered the original vinyl album on two 45rpm, 12” 180gm discs. The work, approved by Alan Parsons, took place at Abbey Road, the studio where it all began. It is also being presented for the first time ever in a 5.1 surround sound mix from the original multi-tracks by Alan Parsons at Capitol Studios, LA. The set is complete with a stunning 60-page coffee table book with photographs and new interviews about the making of the album, with Alan Parsons, Hazel and Sally Woolfson, David Paton and Stuart Tosh plus an original album poster, replica 1976 press kit and tape-man sticker.
