Is this out there

ghosthouse, this is terrible and very inadvanced.

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.

Good call, amg56. The Wakeman stuff is like a soundtrack.
For another concept album I’ll add Jethro Tull "A Passion Play."

ahh yes, another piece of genius. Whether it was that or what was being consumed at the time? It doesn't happen that much any more...
