The Classic Rock LP this week goes by a couple of different names: the debut LP from ProcolHarum, it was recorded in 1967 between their first single (a little known ditty entitled 'A Whiter Shade of Pale') and their second single, but it was held back for release until 1968. In the UK it was released as 'ProcolHarum', but in the USA it was named 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' (with the aforementioned big hit included). We played the US version, for kicks.
Here's my favorite from the LP (how's this for early progressive rock?!)
