Poe for Moderns

This hep-cat updating of Poe-try with musical arrangements is from 1960.  As you might expect by now, this fun LP was in a thrift store.

1. The Murders in the Rue Morgue

2. Annabel Lee

3. The Gold Bug

4. A Descent into the Maelstrom

5. The Bells

6. The Fall of the House of Usher

7. The Pit and the Pendulum

8. Ulalume

9. The Black Cat

10. The Raven

11. Quoth the Raven

12. The Tell-Tale Heart

The sparkling gem of this album is the utterly mad rendition of "The Raven."
