I just realised I've never played Procol Harum here. One of my all time favourites, something like what Manic Street Preachers is for Ghost, or almost.

Classic line up:
Gary Brooker -vocals, piano
BJ Wilson :notworthy: -drums
Robin Trower :notworthy:-guitar
Matthew Fischer -organ
David Knights -bass
Keith Reid -lyrics, yes you read that right, PH had a dedicated lyricist.

OK where do I start? Whiter Shade of Pale is one of the most massive UK hits ever and a great album too. A Salty Dog their 3rd is also great. Home, their 4th contains some Robin Trower gems such as Whiskey Train & About to Die but so do their next Broken Barricades with Simple Sister & Poor Mohamed.

I'll go with their second and in many ways their best and most psychedelic album, Shine on Brightly, 1968. Introducing their 17 minutes opus In Held Twas in I

*Note the Robin Trower lick at 13:20 and mega solo at 15:40

"In the darkness of the night..."From movement 1, "Glimpses of Nirvana"
"Held close by that which some despise..."From the sixth verse of movement 1
"′Twas tea-time at the circus..."From movement 2, "′Twas Teatime at the Circus"
"In the autumn of my madness..."From movement 3, "In the Autumn of My Madness"
"I know if I'd been wiser..."From movement 4, "Look to Your Soul"

One of the band’s best efforts as per themselves.

"we worked so fucking hard on that. The songs were there, the commitment was there, the playing was there, production was there, everything was there...I'm so proud of that album. Nothing wrong with that album at all. Some great songs."

"one of the best albums we ever did."

"It's just so disappointing when you pull out all the stops for an album and you're really thrilled with it and nobody else cares, especially not your record company."
