Originally released in 1969, Poe Through The Glass Prism was one of the first ever concept-based rock albums. This Scranton, PA band (the first rock group from the Northeast to perform on national television shows and obtain a major record label deal) adapted Edgar Allan Poe poems to psychedelic rock with stunning results: swirling organ, fuzz bursts, passionate vocals. The sound quality was exceptional as the album was engineered and produced by Les Paul (the legendary inventor of the electric guitar and many studio recording devices) at his recording studio in New York. The album and its single "The Raven" hit the Billboard, Cashbox and Record World charts in 1969 and remained on for several weeks. This is the first ever band sanctioned LP reissue of this cult psychedelic classic. Sourced from the original master tapes. Includes insert with liner notes by Plastic Crimewave and rare photos.

"The Glass Prism were forerunners of the Goth movement. "The Raven" was the first true expression of Goth Rock." --Maxim Furek
