The Alan Parsons Project Announces 'Tales Of Mystery And Imagination' Reissue for March 2025

For those who prefer a more traditional format, a single LP clear vinyl edition will also be available. This 33RPM pressing is likewise cut at half speed, offering the same meticulous engineering without the bonus tracks.

CD enthusiasts aren't left behind. A new CD edition will feature four bonus tracks, presenting early versions that provide insight into the album's development process.

These editions are available through The Alan Parsons Project Official Shop. Early purchasers have an added incentive: the first 500 vinyl orders of either edition come with a limited edition numbered print. The reissues are scheduled for release on 21 March 2025 via Cooking Vinyl.
