Debut album released in 1976, a concept album, with the songs based on the writings of Edgar Allen Poe by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. Parsons had just finished work on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and had produced for EMI Records. Woolfson, a songwriter and composer, was working as a session pianist. Based on Woolfson's Edgar Allen Poe concept, the two wrote the songs for this album with Parsons producing and engineering. The album was well received, with the song The Raven featuring vocals by actor Leonard Whiting. It was also the first rock song ever to use a vocoder. Includes 2 bonus tracks not on the original album, plus an 8 page booklet.
The fifth release in 1979 from Alan Parsons Project after the string of successful releases including I Robot, Pyramid and Eve. Transferred for the first time from the original flat analog masters supplied by Mr. Parsons who both produced and engineered this sensational title. The improvements in terms of low level detail and clarity were dramatic enough to persuade us to reissue this title on LP as well as on DVD audio. All previous editions of this title on all formats have been transferred from production masters - we are a generation earlier here with the tape Alan mixed to 26 years ago. The songs include: Games People Play, Time, Nothing Left to Lose and the title track among others.

Album Summary
Transferred from the original 2 track analog master tapes provided by Alan Parsons this title, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, offers a sonic treat which is characteristic of Parson's work both as an engineer and as a musician. Songs such as the title track, "Children of the Moon", "Psychobable" and "Step by Step" among others ring out with a never before heard clarity showing Parsons as the master of sound he has always been. This is a work of art and will push a modern stereo system to its limits trying to reproduce all that was originally laid down on each track. A sonic and musical tour de force!
