Comments:
| Are all you Procol Harum fans aware that there has been a legal battle between PH & Matthew Fisher over (in MF's case, partial) rights to (monetarily, I imagine) AWSOP? - Lester, New York City, NY |
| Listen to "In Held 'Twas In I", off the 'Shine On Brightly' album. A superior piece of music. - Lester, New York City, NY |
| Great band. Spawned the awesome power that is Robin Trower. Trower left right before the live album with the symphony. Trower does not play on AWSOP. - Lester, New York City, NY |
| Chris Copping and Alan Cartwright were members of the Paramounts. "Conquistador" was on their first album released in 1967. The live version with the Edmonton Symphony was on their "Live" album released in 1972. They were "rediscovered" then. Most people only know AWSOP and Conquistador (bad Spanish pronunciation and all) but they had a great body of music through 1976. My favorite band of the 70s. - Dave, Scottsdale, AZ |
| "Whiter Shade of Pale" was the song John Lennon always listened too while riding around London with friends in his Psychedelic painted Bentley. A beautiful song, a beautiful car, an amazing man. - benjamin, san fransico, CA |
| I heard that Conquistador was recorded live with the Edmonton symphony orchestra it was first time they played together.Anybody? - chris, Victoria, Canada |
| I hear a lot of procol harum on a "underground" radio. Too bad songfacts only has the above^ (whiter shade of pale) - Johnny, Los Angeles, CA |
| You gotta love "A whiter shade of pale"- classic! - Robyn, Tucson, AZ |
