Broken Barricades was the lp that got me into Procol Harum. Reids lyrics are mind blowing and deep. It was also Robin Trower's swan song. Incredible guitarist and incredible loss.

In Concert with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Just works to perfection.

Looking forward to seeing them live with an orchestra in February!!

For some bizarre reason, I neglected to include my favourite Procol Harum album - The Long Goodbye - in the poll. Ouch

No. Itīs Shine On Brighly (In Held in it is just masterpiece, better than that concert-version). Paul, itīs the album you MUST hear. Anyway I really like all the Procol-albums at least a bit, Prodical Stranger is the weakest, Broken Barricades from the sixties/seventies albums.


I'm afraid I know very little of Procol Harum, but I came to love In Held 'twas because of Transatlantic's cover version. Then I have tried to listen to the original a few time online, and I just couldn't get into it. I guess I need to give it a few serious listens to really get into it.

Just watched the first album pressings from Discogs, itīs quite amazed there was only one pressing of first album in the UK in the sixties! So the album probably wasnīt huge seller. But whatīs more amazing in German pressing there was Homburg added, also different track order & "Good Captain Clack" missing!

I really love Exotic Birds and Fruit above all others. One great song after another.

I was always only into the MkI line-up with Fisher & Trower... As the other members gradually disappeared , I kind of lost interest but the albums (Home, Barricades)still have stand-out tracks.
 
The MkII line-up starts with the Edmonton Symphony (which is great), but I simply can't get into the rest of their discography, despite Brooker & Reid and one of the best drummer around that stayed until the end: BJ Wilson.
 
I'll vote for the debut, but the US version that contains WSoP (I understand the UK version didn't), but their best overall id SOB with the sidelong epic and Moonbeams.

You're right. I really must listen to ALL of Procol Harum's albums, eventually. Smile
Well, you can leave those "reunion"-albums out, well maybe except the last one, itīs quite good. But listen at least Shine. & Grand Hotel.

The Edmonton Symphony album is the one I've owned for a long time. I was hoping for a more expanded re-issue than was put out so that was a shame but the original album is just about perfect. BTW Shine On Brightly was released the same week as The Nice - Ars Longa Vita Brevis and both albums featured a side long composition. Prog rock was up and running!
