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.
With singer/pianist Gary Brooker and lyricist Keith Reid providing the
band's entire repertory, their music evolved in decidedly linear fashion,
the only major surprises coming from the periodic lineup changes that added
a new instrumental voice to the proceedings. At their most accessible, as
on "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Conquistador," they were one of the most
popular of progressive rock bands, their singles outselling all rivals, and
their most ambitious album tracks still have a strong following.
After the multi-million selling "A Whiter Shade of Pale", Procol Harum
coalesced around a new lineup and cut a debut album in two days, the sales
of which were only fair (because the hit song wasn't on it originally).
Then they did "Shine On Brightly", which initially drew on recordings going
back to late 1967 - in the course of preparing their first proper LP, the
band junked an entire side of blues-based numbers in favor of the 18-minute
suite "In Held Twas I", which rivaled anything yet heard from such
established progressive rock outfits as the Nice or the Moody Blues in
length and surpassed them in audacity, with an extensive spoken part
surrounded by virtuoso classical and psychedelic passages (and even a
featured spot for Dave Knights' bass).
It all proved that they were more than a one-hit wonder and, released in
late 1968, the album extended the definition of progressive rock, even as
it kept much of the music rooted in established rock genres. "Skip Softly",
for all of its grand piano pyrotechnics, was also a showcase for Robin
Trower's bluesy, high-energy guitar attack, and "Wish Me Well" was an even
better vehicle for his instrument, while "Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)"
was an interesting exercise in nostalgia highlighted by Matthew Fisher's
organ.
1997 remaster on Repertoire Records including three bonus tracks.
