A debut album from this underrated American psychedelic band was released in 1969 on RCA Victor and combined the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe with grandiose progressive rock arrangements. This brilliantly recorded album was very diverse, but consisted mostly of dark, atmospheric and usually short tracks based on strong Hammond organ-guitar interplay and rich vocal harmonies. Glass Prism music may be described as early hard-progressive rock crossed with ambitious psychedelic pop like early Procol Harum, Vanilla Fudge, Ford Theatre and Bloomsbury People. In 1970 the band released their second and musically less successful LP On Joy And Sorrow. This CD edition has been carefully remastered from the original, analogue source and sounds great!

When Glass Prism, RCA's exclusive recording group hailing form the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, was searching for something distinctive for its debut album, one of the quartet, Augie Christiano, an Edgar Allan Poe buff, suggested basing their material on the works of the great 19th century American poet. These are represented in the combo's initial Victor album, "Poe Through the Glass Prism" (LSP-4201). The group performs eleven of Poe's works, set to music by Glass Prism's Thomas Varano and Augie Christiano, and translates into a contemporary vein the vital feeling of the "lyrics" written more than a century ago.
Glass Prism consists of Carl Siracuse, Thomas Varano, Augie Christiano, and Rick Richards.
Carl Siracuse, a native of Kingston, Pennsylvania, plays organ and rhythm guitar with Glass Prism. A graduate of Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where he recently received a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, Carl had been performing for the past eight years in a local group called El Caminos, with Tom Varano and two others. Through attrition, Rick Richards and Augie Christiano came into the group and the four performed as El Caminos until recently when they began searching for a new name. Carl, whose sister is a nurse, was thumbing through one of her physics books and came upon a diagram of a glass prism. Voila!
Thomas Varano, from Shonokin, Pennsylvania, has harbored the ambition of becoming a great jazz guitarist since his high school days. It was a particular thrill that Glass Prism's debut RCA album was recorded at Les Paul's own studios in Mahwah, New Jersey, with the famed guitarist engineering the session.
In addition to performing with the group, playing guitar and piano, Tom runs a recently-opened girls' boutique, Bedroom, in Wilkes-Barre. He and Augie collaborated with "lyricist" Edgar Allan Poe on the album "Poe Through the Glass Prism."
Augie Christiano, Scranton's contribution to Glass Prism, plays bass guitar. Except for a childhood desire to grow up to become a pro football star, his driving ambition was music. Following graduation from West Scranton High School, he did a two-year hitch with the United States Army, and then became lead singer with a group called The Henchmen. When he heard that El Caminos was looking for a bass player, Augie, whose instrument was the rhythm guitar, faked his way through the audition, was chosen, and then learned how to play bass guitar.
Drummer Rick Richards, the group's "old man" at 26, is the only out-of-stater –- he's from the Bronx –- in Glass Prism ("but I moved out before I was two"). He has always wanted to be a drummer and won first place in countless talent shows through his days in Scranton Technical High School. He spent four years in the U.S. Air Force, is now Glass Prism's percussionist, and works as a licensed electrician in the Scranton area.
As Glass Prism, the quartet disperses light making meaningful, by today's standards, words which are part of our literacy heritage –- and makes itself unique among contemporary music groups.
