Description
1971
'Procol Harum Lives', lavish promotional boxed set issued to US radio stations only and marked 'not for sale'
LPs
• A full length interview ('Rambling On') with the band, including singing and unnervingly frank self-assessments
• Procol Harum past (a compilation of 'Procol Harum's Greatest Non-Hits')
• Both sides of the band's excellent then-new release, 'Broken Barricades'
All content shewn in photos below ... too much to itemise here in detail. Great photographs, consumer and trade adverts, A&M news bulletin, band biography, 'negative contact sheet', high-spirited band snaps, mystery train, article about rock lyricists
Marks on the vinyl in the photos are reflections of the photographer's sundry limbs
An extremely rare and valuable document with many facets to it. Signed 'Gary Brooker' with silver Sharpie in my presence at the Brooker residence on 17 September 2021. This prime item of rock memorabilia comes from Gary's own collection and was signed for the specific purpose of this auction to fans ... the lucky winner will be its second owner only.
The dedication message (see photos) is poignant and generous-spirited ... Gary is 'taking turns in trying to pass it on'.
We're donating a full half of the takings from this sale to The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, at the request of Gary Brooker's widow.
So ... please bid generously !
