• Track Listing

A batch of stellar new songs penned by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, some memorable covers (a rarity for Procol Harum) and production by none other than Leiber & Stoller helped make this 1975 LP a hit. There’s a much more spare sound at work here than on the band’s earlier, lushly orchestrated recordings; versions of Lieber & Stoller’s "I Keep Forgetting" and the Beatles’ "Eight Days a Week" join "Fool’s Gold," "Pandora’s Box," "Taking the Time," "Without a Doubt" and more. This expanded reissue takes the remastered LP and adds alternate versions, raw tracks and early mixes plus two unreleased 1975 concerts: the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey and Leicester University. You’ll hear "A Whiter Shade of Pale," "Conquistador," "A Salty Dog," "Power Failure," "Simple Sister," "Beyond the Pale," "Grand Hotel" and more never-before-heard live Procol Harum! Esoteric.
