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?

Check out Lol Creme's & Kevin Godley's "Consequences".  The whole thing is on You Tube if you want to try before buying, though I think your purchase options will be limited to pre-owned vinyl.

In the sixth grade circa 1969, our teacher played us a 16 rpm record that had, if I remember correctly, Boris Karloff reading Edgar Allan Poe stories. The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Telltale Heart. Priceless, now that I recall them; they were wonderful to listen to near the end of the school day and scary as all get out.

Maybe it was Bela Lugosi; in any case, look for these recordings.

Listen to Rick Wakeman’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Six Wives of Henry VIII, Legend of King Arthur, if you want to get very philosophical try Jethro Tull and Aqualung.

True poetry and story telling that is so missing in todays common music. Give me back to 60's, 70's and some 80's.
