PROCOL HARUM
GARY BROOKER, MATTHEW FISHER, ROBIN TROWER, DAVID KNIGHTS, B.J. WILSON
Procol Harum is arguably the most successful "accidental" group creation
-- that is, a band originally assembled to take advantage of the success
of a record created in the studio -- in the history of progressive rock.
With "A Whiter Shade of Pale" a monster hit right out of the box,
the band evolved from a studio ensemble into a successful live act,
their music built around an eclectic mix of blues-based rock riffs and grand classical themes

grading
RECORD VG(+) but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG(+) but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The music is an engaging meld of psychedelic rock, blues, and classical influences,
filled with phantasmagorical lyrics, bold (but not flashy) organ by Matthew Fisher,
and Robin Trower's most tasteful and restrained guitar.
"Conquistador," "Kaleidoscope," "A Christmas Camel,"
and the Bach-influenced "Repent Walpurgis" are superb tracks.
It holds up better than most psychedelic or progressive rock...(AllMusic)
