'''''Psychedelicatessen''''' is the second studio album by [[Threshold (band)|Threshold]], released in late 1994. It is their only studio album to feature [[Glynn Morgan]] on vocals until his return in 2017, and their only album with [[Nick Harradence]] playing drums. The band's members were displeased with the sound quality on the original release of the album, and had long desired to do a complete remix. [http://www.dprp.net/specials/threshold/index.html] <!-- This is also mentioned during Karl Groom and Richard West's commentary on the Critical Energy DVD --> Their first fan club release ''[[Decadent (Threshold album)|Decadent]]'', released in 1999, contained remixes of three songs from the album. The entire ''Psychedelicatessen'' album was later remixed for a 2001 Special Edition release.

The songs on the album deal with themes of religion.

''Psychedelicatessen'' is also the name of the second album released by the band [[Moodswings (band)|Moodswings]] ([[Arista Records|Arista]], 1997). <!-- Perhaps this should go in an "Other uses" section at the top of the article -->

The name of the album is a [[portmanteau]] of the words "[[Psychedelic (disambiguation)|Psychedelic]]" and "[[Delicatessen]]".
