Details: Originally released in January 1968, the LP followed on from the huge international success of the band's debut single 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' and the follow up single 'Homburg'. Cut at Abbey Road Studios, this new vinyl edition of 'Procol Harum' includes a bonus 12-inch EP featuring the classic singles 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' and 'Homburg', along with their B-sides. One of the finest releases of the era Procol Harum captured the exquisite song writing of Gary Brooker and Keith Reid and the excellence of the musicians in the group, namely Brooker (voice, piano), Robin Trower (lead guitar), David Knights (bass guitar), B. J. Wilson (drums) and Matthew Fisher (Hammond organ). The overall result was a collection of songs that would prove to be truly ground-breaking.
