Reviews
someone can confirm if this version has the guitar solo on "THE RAVEN"?, thanks
I love this album. It's probably the best of the APP, although Eye In The Sky runs it a close second.
Stand-out tracks are "The Raven", "The Cask of Amontillado" and the hugely impressive and atmospheric orchestral piece, "The Fall of the House of Usher" which takes up almost all of the second side.
If you're a prog fan - and you must be if you're already reading this! - then I commend this album to your collection without a moment's hesitation.
