Procol Harum ORIG Can LP Exotic birds and fruit NM ’74 Chrysalis CHR1058 Prog
Original Canadian LP released in 1974 on Chrysalis Records. Cat: CHR1058.Procol Harum's seventh studio album, Exotic Birds and Fruit, was released in April 1974. In its original LP incarnation, four songs made up side one "Nothing But the Truth," "Beyond the Pale," "As Strong as Samson," and "The Idol" all of which featured some of the band's best later work. They had retreated somewhat from the orchestral hybrid of their previous album, Grand Hotel, although "Nothing But the Truth" still boasted a string arrangement. They replaced the sweetening with extra muscle in the remaining instruments, making this one of the group's harder rocking sets. And lyricist Keith Reid, having explored elegant decay in Grand Hotel, was unusually straightforward in his social prescriptions here. True, the words still dripped with literary references to everything from Shakespeare to ancient mythology, but, as Reid declared up front, this time he was interested in "Nothing But the Truth."
