'''''Psychedelicatessen''''' is the second studio album by [[Threshold (band)|Threshold]], released in late 1994. It was 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.<ref>http://www.dprp.net/specials/threshold/index.html</ref> <!-- 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 name of the album is a [[portmanteau]] of the words "[[Psychedelic (disambiguation)|Psychedelic]]" and "[[Delicatessen]]".
