PROCOL HARUM
GARY BROOKER, MATTHEW FISHER, ROBIN TROWER, DAVID KNIGHTS, B.J. WILSON
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

Procol Harum's self-titled, debut album bombed in England, appearing six months after "
A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Homburg" with neither hit song on it.
The LP was successful in America, where albums sold more easily, but especially since
it did include "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and was reissued with a sticker emphasizing the presence
of the original "Conquistador," a re-recording which became a hit in 1972.
The music is an engaging meld of psychedelic rock, blues, and classical influences,
filled with phantasmagorical lyrics, bold (but not flashy) organ by Matthew Fisher,
and Robin Trower's most tasteful and restrained guitar.
"Conquistador," "Kaleidoscope," "A Christmas Camel,"
and the Bach-influenced "Repent Walpurgis" are superb tracks,
and "Good Captain Clack" is great, almost Kinks-like fun.
It holds up better than most psychedelic or progressive rock...(AllMusic)price rating
