Tales of Mystery and Imagination was Allen Parsons Project first album, and I own it on every media available..I think.
Back in the old days, when I ran a private homeschool, I had my students listen to it for a couple of week (immersion therapy!) and get a ken for the lyrics. Then, in our American Lit class, we would read some of Poe’s work. I wouldn’t tell them what song went with what story...but they figured it out.
Wasn’t APP kinda like Steely Dan...a rotating group of background musicians with one or two constant leaders?
:: Wasn’t APP kinda like Steely Dan ::
Yep.
And contemporaries too.
Some folks have first edition copies of every Steely Dan albums (media releases)...cough, cough
