"Tales From The Lush Attic", released in 1983 (see 1983 in music), was the second studio album by neo-progressive rock group IQ, following the cassette-only "Seven Stories into Eight". It was also one of the first neo-progressive releases, alongside Marillion's debut album "Script for a Jester's Tear".

In the style of some classic Progressive rock albums, "Tales From The Lush Attic" consists of one epic song filling out almost an entire side of the original vinyl and other shorter songs composing the other side.

The Giant Records) 2006 re-release features a bonus track, Just Changing Hands which is credited as running for 5:12 but in reality is 10:18 long and features a hidden track, a short nameless exotic sounding instrumental.
