TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION

I discovered this album at a time when I was constantly trying to improve my already adequate Hi-Fi and it turned out to be a reference recording I would use in the future to compare equipment. The production is phenomenal but can tale a little of your attention away from the actual soul of the music as it can be a little clinical for some ears. Nonetheless there are some fantastic songs including The Raven And Cask of Amontillado and the album flows as one suite rather than a collection of individual songs. Even John Miles of 'Music' guests on a couple of tracks, Cask of Amontillado and (The System of) . For lovers of clinically well produced rock this album is a must listen. The remastered version is the one for them.
