1. Procol Harum Lyrics

Contents.Writing All songs were originally credited written to (music) and (lyrics), except 'Repent Walpurgis' written by, after works by French organist and German composer.In 2005, Matthew Fisher filed suit in the Royal Courts of Justice against Gary Brooker and his publisher, claiming that Fisher co-wrote the music for 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. On 30 July 2009, the House of Lords issued a final verdict on the case in Fisher's favour. A lower court had ruled in Fisher's favour in 2006, granting him co-writing credits and a share of the royalties. A higher court partly overturned the ruling in 2008, giving Fisher co-writing credit but no money. The Court of Appeal had previously held that Fisher had waited too long to bring his claim to court. The House of Lords disagreed, stating there was no time limitation for such claims.

Lord David Neuberger of Abbotsbury's opinion stated: 'Fisher's subsequent contribution was significant, and, especially the introductory eight bars, an important factor in the work's success.' .Procol Harum's lyricist told Songfacts that the music for 'Conquistador' was written before the lyrics. He added that this was unusual as '99 out of 100' of the Procol Harum songs, back then, 'were written the words first, and then were set to music.' Recording The track 'Salad Days (Are Here Again)' is credited as being from the film.Release Procol Harum was released in September 1967 in the US, and three months later in the UK. Though the album was recorded on, it was issued as -only in the UK, and in mono and in the US. Despite extensive searching, the original multitrack tapes have not been located and thus a stereo mix of the original ten tracks may never be possible.

Several alternate takes, however, have been mixed into stereo and are available on CD. As recently as 2004, the original single, mixed to stereo, has appeared on a 'Dick Bartley Presents: Classic Oldies' compilation on Eric Records.The original North American release included a poster of the album cover.The album has been repackaged and reissued many times. Two of the significant reissues are Procol Harum.Plus!, a 1998 CD compilation on the Westside label including all the songs from both the Deram and Regal Zonophone release, plus 'Homburg' (the group's second single) and nine additional tracks from the period; and a vinyl LP edition released in 2003 by Classic Records, with yet a different track order, including 'Homburg' as the opening track and without 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' or 'Good Captain Clack'. The set includes bonus singles of the original monaural and alternate versions of 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. A 2009 remaster by Salvo Records, using the original mono masters, was released, with bonus tracks including the singles 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', 'Homburg', B-sides and alternate stereo takes.

However, many of the tracks are played at a higher speed. A 2015 remaster by Cherry Red Records expands the album into a 2-CD set.A live version of the track 'Conquistador', from the album, was released as a single in 1972 and charted to #16 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 after 10 weeks on the chart.

Procol Harum – The Best Of Procol Harum (1972)EAC Rip FLAC Image + Cue + Log Full Scans @300 dpi, PNGTotal Size: 244 MB (CD) + 67.1 MB (Scans) 3% RAR RecoveryLabel: A&M Records Cat#: CD3259 Genre: Psychedelic RockProcol Harum is a band that is (these days anyway) rather obscure, but has had a definite influence on rock music, in general, and progressive rock, in particular. “Best Of” albums seldom are that, and whether or not this one is certainly falls under the area of debate. However, the album is a good introduction to the many sides of this complex and intriguing band. For those who only know of the group’s two hits, “Whiter Shade of Pale” and “Conquistador,” the disc provides both of them.

However, for the more knowledgeable fans, it has a purpose, too. Fans of progressive rock will certainly find a lot of the material here of interest. Besides the aforementioned “Whiter Shade of Pale,” which some consider the first progressive rock song, there are other showings of early prog here. “A Salty Dog” is certainly one of these.

The song “Simple Sister” is both a solid rocker and, seemingly, a big influence on Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.” “Shine On Brightly” showcases the group’s psychedelic tendencies and Beatles influences. The album also includes two hard-rockers that are a bit in the mode of the Yardbirds/Jeff Beck.

So, as a showcase of the diversity of this group, the CD is definitely of value. There are some weak points here, but don’t all bands have their less-than-best cuts?Reviewed byAdditional Info:. Original Released Date: 1972. CD Released Date: 1987Tracklist:01.
