APP has a timeless sound , listen 100 years from now and it will still sound fresh and original - the picture of Edgar Allan Poe is a dead ringer for another classic musician, guitar virtuoso "Buck Dharma" Roeser of Blue Oyster Cult in their earlier days - reincarnation maybe ?
Be warned people, this ISN'T the original recording of this album. Its the crappy Mercury record company remix. Added guitar solos and obnoxious sounds. Keep it the original and buy the original record. Though, nobody on youtube has the original version. Its a sad day for America and APP fans alike. And yet, nobody noticed this aspect yet
@HunterSThompson191 This is the original for this song. I do agree with you about the remastered version. It leaves out things you want to hear and puts things you don't.
@LWayne38 lol no kidding dude, you got that right. So far up their asses it would take a John Deere tractor and 3 proctologists to pull their heads out.
God I love this album and especially this song. This is my favorite Poe story. I think it totally set the stage for the Mad Hatter's party in Alice and the twist ending of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Who cares if they borrowed a bit...both great things that may have come from a superb influence. Love it!!!
@999klondike I couldn't agree more. I used to sing to the Seventh Sojourn album when I was in 7th grade. 1972ish. Good to see someone else that appreciates good music of old. OLDIES. I love 'em
@AmandaPanda194 no i didnt live in the 1800s :) but i have read edgar allen poes tales of mystery and imagination.that tells me this song is very dark :)
Utterly brilliant - and has been since AP's brain put it all together. Creative doesn't begin to describe every song on this album. One of my top 3 of all time.
24 years old here...I learned about APP from my parents. I am the proud owner of a couple of these albums, including this one. Big fan for the new generation!
Hard to tell which of his albums were better. I Robot was an engineering marvel but Edgar Alan Poe has to be my favorite. Alan did work for Pink Floyd too.
This was some jammin down the highway music. High school cruisin in my 66 Comet. Joined the Navy just after graduation and this music went with me around the world many times. Brings back good memories of a simpler time.
Libertine62--Did we go to High School and College together ???
UNL 1976 with this and later in 1977 i-Robot album...and tons of Bob Cigar (Seger) and Allman Bros. and Steely Dan....the OJays, EW&F,Eisley Bros, etc ...where did the music go ?
@rwwagsneb - St. Paul Catholic HS (Bristol, CT) class of '80. College? Well I was like Bluto in Animal House "7 years of college down the tubes", but I spent most of it @ UConn.
Yeah where did all the great music go? The crap that is getting pushed down our throats on the corporate radio airwaves can't suck enough. Music ain't about the music anymore...
@Libertine62 this is just so untrue. the 60s had its monkees, the 70s had its disco sellouts, the 80s had garbage hair bands. the 90s had pop punk, and now we have this disney channel garbage music. every decade has had terrible money grabbing music & great, thoughtful, emotional music. just because you dont hear it on the radio doesnt mean it isnt there, and looking to the radio is a pretty pathetic way to find music. search fleet foxes, black keys, warpaint, local natives to get you started
@cCreaturesMusic Looking to the radio was quite a good way to find music, until all good old music disappeared from radio. I have found pretty many good songs there in the past, not now. The same with MTV which is no more a music channel at all.
@memmori1 well if you continue to look to a medium that has been consistently losing any quality it once had for AT LEAST the last 20 years you're bound to be disappointed. the radio is dead
Great old APP tune. I have not heard this in 30 years. Damn, I miss the 1970s. Thanks much, Libertine62, for uploading and wih quality sound. If only all music on youtube had at least this level of audio quality. Maybe when all youtube videos are finally transcoded into WebM, we will get a major improvement in video and audio quality. Cross your fingers.
I´ll put you on my list if you`re worth it. Do you like classical horror? Do you feel the real horror in the atmosphere? Are you aware of the Orwellian NWO that`s out to suck your lifeblood? If the answer`s Yes, you`re automatically on my list.
I just LOVE that AMBROSIA played on Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe. You hear it all in this work. Beatles, Ambrosia, Pink Floyd, as well as Alan and Eric. Genius.
"At the far end of your tether, when your thoughts won't fit together..." classic. Reminds me of cleaning the barracks at Ft. Gordon, GA. December, 1976....must've played this album 500 times that month...good times.
man im always convinced this song is about a taboo source of mental elevation. I mean whhen i get writers block, it always helps to seek attention from Doctor Tarr (Cigarettes) or Professor FeAther (Marijuana) no doubt! see the rat race in a new way!
That's an interesting thought. Have you read the story the song is based off of though? Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether is about mental patients who escaped the asylum and locked up the original employees.
And those cassettes still play great (provided that they have been looked after). I enjoy going through my cassette collection. Of course, I also have the CDs for my favorite albums...
Definetly....I still have my Gaudi and Stereotomy albums. Gaudi plays great but poor old Stereotomy has gone the way of many a cassette. Shelved and put aside as a collectible.
It's pretty hard to tee up while having zero income - lol but I have been practicing up with my sand wedge and pitching wedge but now that I am 100% clean and sober I foresee some financial relief and overall happiness is in the very near future :-) Things you could say are looking way up! Peace. Keep in touch brother.
LOL...the song yes, though not really on the video I did. But some people seem to get unnerved by Poe staring at them for 2+ minutes. So it had the effect I wanted. ;-)
This is one of a couple of songs from A.P.P which sound similar to Steely Dan. Listen to this track and then listen to Steely Dan- "The Royal Scam" (here on You Tube). Not the same, no but similar IMO. This is a marvelous song thanks for posting!!
MAgnifico...musical reprise of the tormented genius and his chemical predliections to opium and cocaine.. One look at Poe's portrait and one cannot think other than of a dreary and painful life punctuated by crearivity spawned of pain and ecstatic delusion fromhis acquaintence with the Doctor and the Professor.

I heard this song on the radio a long time ago and I had a very innate feeling that it had an edgar allan poe inspiration behind it before I knew it was.
O M G!! I haven't heard this in like....forever!! THX! I used to have this LP in 1976...The Raven and this one were my favs...."just what ya need to make ya feel betttah!"
My best friend in H.S. played this album all the time! This was when it first came out! I love this! (and check out the uh "sampling of earlier tracks of the album at the end!)
They opened with this song in around 1997 i believe. I saw them at the Greek Theatre in LA and this was one of my favorite concert moments of all time. It was a total surprise. EAP rules by he way. Quothe the Raven Mr. Poe. You were the man! Go Ravens!!!
this is such a great song; from the deep-voiced "Just what you need to make to make you feel better" to the finale instrumental with bits and pieces from "dream within a dream and the raven": It almost feels like you were at their party "handing the jug round" ready to be tarred and feathered, so to speak. Help me out Projectologists, wasn't this their first song that cracked the Billboard top 40 ?
My favorite on this LP. I'm a 52 year old black man now but back in the day of 1975-76 in college and room mate with a white brother. He told me check this out. I thought I know I'm not going to like it because I'm an funk r@b guy who doesn't like much rock . Some but not much. Boy was I wrong about.
When Jack Harris chants, "Just what you need to make you feel better," another guy sings, "Doo doo doo doo doo doo." The doo-doos in this song are funny.
"All you need is wine and good company..."
Mostly "good company"... :)

Creative indeed! Check out National Sunday Law by Jan Marcussen sometime. God bless! Guaranteed to cure all ills.

When I was fourteen or so I listened to this all of the time. Loved it, and the album it came from.
That is a wonderful picture of Edgar Allan Poe, such haunting eyes.

When Jack Harris chants, "Just what you need to make you feel better," another guy sings, "Doo doo doo doo doo doo." The doo-doos in this song are funny.
