Review

The Alan Parsons Project album, TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION is a good album because it shows their talent in the full light. The songa are based on Edgar Allen Poe's works. Although TALES is the first album for Alan Parsons Project and one of the FEW good debut albums because MOST debut albums are either too mellow or not successful for a new artist or band or aren't released ionternationally until sometime later. For example, ABBA's debut album, "Ring Ring" wasn't released in the UK until 1992 and the US until 1995. Then there are a few artists who never made it beyond one or two albums. For example, the little-known 1970's U.K. progressive rock group Indian Summer never made it beond their self-titled 1971 album.
