Procol Harum
Home
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1970 US Original Monarch Pressing, Housed In A Gatefold Jacket With A&M Company Inner. Signs Of Shelf Ring/Wear & Corner Rubs. Another Artistic Triumph For Procol Harum And The Group's Hardest-Rocking Classic Album To Date. Superb Vocalizing By Gary Brooker, Principally A Showcase For Robin Trower's High-Powered Guitar And A Rock-Hard Rhythm Section, With B.J. Wilson Only A Little Less Animated Than Ginger Baker On Some Of The Music. Procol Harum Had A Split Personality By This Time, The Band Juxtaposing Straight-Ahead Rock & Roll Numbers Like "Still There'll Be More" And The Elvis Presley-Influenced "Whisky Train" With Darker, More Dramatic Pieces Like "Nothing That I Didn't Know" And "Barnyard Story." Chris Copping Doubles On Organ, Replacing Matthew Fisher, But The Overall Sound Is That Of A Leaner Procol Harum.
