Product Description

CD Description

Procol Harum's debut album contains all of the group's trademarks to full effect. The band combined R&B with a classically tinged two-keyboard approach, and, in Gary Brooker, had a singer of rich and soulful passion. Procol Harum's first album was released a few months after the band's enormous hit"A Whiter Shade of Pale" captured the attention of large portions of the world. However, that song was not included on the original PROCOL HARUM.
PROCOL HARUM... PLUS includes the band's breakthrough track as well as nine other bonus cuts. The poetic imagery of lyricist Keith Reid provides the band with words that perfectly fit the amalgam of moods the instrumentalists capture. The band's third single, "Conquistador", opens this set, while their second single, "Homburg", is included as a bonus track. This collection is laden with treasures, including the punchy "A Christmas Camel".

5.0 out of 5 stars beginning the journey, 26 Sep 2003
this was procol harum's first album but if you compare it to other bands of the time there was nothing amateur about it. this is a polished band playing at their best.
repent walpurgis, an instrumental track remains one of the best attempts at combining classical . blues and rock . the organ playing alone establishes matthew fisher as one of the world's best.
conquistador , on this album is a stripped down version of the song that went on to sell a million copies four years later.
cerdes is a unique blues song with a ponderous base line and magical lyrics.
this gives a taste of a band that played all kinds of music with equal facility. so much so that they could not be labelled.
there are echoes of bob dylan and the band but in the end this is the first album of a unique and individual band.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAGNIFICENT, 4 Aug 2005
One of those albums that you could go back to again and again ,i purchased it on cd in 1991 and its an album thats lost nothing of its original charm to my ears.I guess the album has ,to me,a double thread of intrest running right the way through it ,from the opening " whiter shade of pale" to the closing "repent walpurgis" the music itself is gorgeous and rich with that beautiful "church like" organ and secondly the marvellous lyrics of keith reid ,which are witty and at times stop you in your tracks,even if you dont always know what hes talking about ,the words are very descriptive and very beautiful,theres no weak tracks but "a christmas carol" and "salad days(are here again)" are the stand outs to me in an album thats a treasure chest of late sixties delights.
