Alan Parsons to Release "Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe" 5.1 Mix

Interesting article in Tampa Tribune on the upcoming Alan Parsons' tour. He mentions in the article there will be a reissue of his debut album in "Surround sound," "Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe". “I think the early material still stands up,” Parsons said. “There is demand for it. This summer there will be a reissue of the first album. We’ll do a surround mix.” - See more at: http://www.tbo.com/events-tampa-bay...rwater-concert-20160211/#sthash.fOtZMzbc.dpuf

Thanks sarasota


“There is demand for it..." Gee I wonder where Alan got that idea from? I gotta believe QQers had a little to do with this! Nice work laddies.


WOW, 2016 is shaping up to be a MEGA year for surround. I will buy Alan's Tales immediately. What a joy!!!!!!

THIS IS HUGE. Alan Parsons has always supported surround, he was simply held back by the the labels. I am POSITIVE if we show support and buy Tales Of Mystery & Imagination then Alan will continue and release I Robot, Pyramid and Eye In The Sky.

:yikes and I always thought....SPACE

Finally, back in the day of the cassette this one never left my car, listened to this in the car more than any other tape I owned. Bring...it...on!

Wow wow wow! Let's pray the 5.1 mix is not as badly mastered as the last reissues

And there was much rejoicing!

I'm IN.

Ps. Thank you for the scoop, sarasota2k4 :upthumb

Well this is very good news!

Great news,

Perhaps he will go for it, and give his catalogue "the treatment".

cool, the most outstanding album from APP's catalogue. at least for me.
i just hope he wouldn't screw up by releasing it in DTS only, like last one.

The article also states that Alan is considering a tour to promote the reissue. I'd certainly go see him if he was going to play the whole album in concert. (Although I'm not sure how he'd pull off "The Fall of the House of Usher" unless he brought an orchestra along!)

Oh, and I wonder why nobody here posted this yet, but:

Let the speculation begin... Which one will he remix?

1987 version or 1974 version?
