Tales of Mystery and Imagination turns 50, and The Alan Parsons Project's debut returns as a limited anniversary picture disc: Edgar Allan Poe set to lush, cinematic rock.

By the mid-1970s Alan Parsons had already engineered landmark records at Abbey Road, including Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon. Teaming up with songwriter Eric Woolfson, he built a studio project rather than a band, drafting in singers and players to bring a concept to life, and Poe's gothic stories and poems made the perfect first subject when the album arrived in 1976.

The Raven pairs vocoder-treated vocals with a pulsing, dramatic arrangement, Arthur Brown brings wild-eyed theatre to The Tell-Tale Heart, and John Miles lends his rock voice to two of the darker tales. Side two belongs to The Fall Of The House Of Usher, an ambitious instrumental suite in five movements, before Terry Sylvester eases the record to a close on To One In Paradise.

Members of Ambrosia and Pilot fill out the sound, and the marriage of orchestra, synthesisers and rock band set the template for everything the Project did next.

As a picture disc for its 50th anniversary, it is as much an object to display as a record to play, and a fitting tribute to one of the most atmospheric debuts of the decade.
