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?

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. 
Among more recent issues Karine Polwart’s recent “A Pocket of Wind Resistance” is a masterful combination of words, music and natural sounds telling a compelling story and a superb (and moving) audio experience to boot
