Product note

Procol Harum's first album was originally released without the inclusion of "A Whiter Shade of Pale," a song that had been a monumental hit just before the LP appeared. In subsequent releases, the running order of the album was slightly changed and "Good Captain Clack" was omitted to make room for the hit that the public expected. What further confused matters was the fact that the debut was available variously as a self-titled release and as A WHITER SHADE OF PALE, both of which featured the new track ordering.
In any event, Procol Harum's debut is a formidable and ambitious effort. The band combined seemingly disparate strains of R&B, classical, and rock & roll to great success, becoming a progressive band before the term was even being used. The band's songs are superbly crafted, arranged, and performed. Standout performances abound from singer Gary Brooker, unheralded drummer B.J. Wilson, and organist Matthew Fisher. Keith Reid's poetic lyrics are a perfect match for the unique sonic world the rest of the band assembles.
