Is this out there


 I’m looking for albums akin to war of the worlds where a story is told and sound effects are used to great effect.  Do they make audiophile recordings such as this so you can experience the stereo through a different prism other than just music?

We have all forgotten to my chagrin, all the musicals and rock operas, The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, and on and on...
Decca Headline, Gerhard's The Plague, spoken word, Dorati conducting, based on Camus. One of the few HP List records that I still play occasionally. 
+1 for Rick Wakeman’s Journey to the Center of The Earth. I got my copy at a Goodwill store, not the best shape,  but it plays well. 

Alan Parsons Project Tales of Mystery and Imagination is pretty good at times also.
