Comments for Procol harum, A Whiter Shade of Pale

Procol Harum's first album, introducing the enigmatic lyrics of Keith Reid, Gary Brooker's vocals, and the classic inter- play of Gary's piano with Matthew Fisher's gothic/rock mastery of the Hammond B3 - with the soaring accents of Robin Trower's pre-solo career sound.

excellent debut. you just can''t go wrong w/ "a whiter shade of pale"; other standouts are "a christmas camel" (cool piano and organ work) and "repent walpurgis" (fantastic instrumental album closer). "something following me" also works nice w/ its semi-morbid lyrics which would pop up again on Home.

Great dubut album displaying beatiful B3 Hammond Organ work on Whiter Shade of Pale to twisted lyrics on She Wandered Through the Garden Fence to beautifully wriiten instrumentals on Repent Walpurgis. One of my favorite albums of all time, with all songs at a level of superior music.
