Nope, not the way I meant it: Pre-Procol's friends got to record the first album, bumping out Rover & Harrison.... It's as they gradually disappeared/quit (Fisher, Knights, Copping & Trower) that Procol got worse.
 
However, unlike Tull, who had only Anderson on the debut album by TAAB time (72) , Procol still had Brooker, Reid, Wilson, Copping (returning as KB instead of bass) and Fisher (returning at production spot) at the Grand Hotel album (73)

^ That sounds like a yes and a no. And then a yes. Or vice versa.

I like to listen to a drummer to gauge hes skill to listen to, if he have played drums in another full album or song. For then to ger a broader understanding of skills. And B.J Wilson outside drumming besides PH is actualy quite an important album as it is the soundtrack for Rocky Horror Picture Show, were he plays the entire record, he is the original drummer of that very infulential rock opera.

Start here as this is the album made me sit and listen. I cannot believe I had managed to miss PH and their wonderful albums and BJ Wilson. Essential listening.
