PROCOL HARUM

Procol Harum - Still There'll Be More, An Anthology 1967-2017 [2018] (5xCD's) + Booklet.


This is the Limited eight-disc (five CDs + three DVD) set. Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of an official limited edition super deluxe boxed set celebrating fifty years of the legendary Procol Harum. This eight-disc set comprises five CDs and three DVDs, of which the first three discs draw upon the key tracks from Procol Harum’s illustrious career. Disc four features the band’s legendary concert at the Hollywood Bowl on 21 September 1973 (with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Roger Wagner Chorale), whilst disc five features a previously unreleased concert at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens on 17 March 1976. The DVD content features over three and a halve hours of footage, mostly previously unreleased. Disc six begins with a performance of ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ on the BBC TV show Top of the Pops from December 1967 before moving to the archives of the German Beat Club series. All of the band’s surviving performances for the show are here, including the entire un-broadcast raw video footage of the band’s Beat Club Workshop studio concert from 1971, shorn of the visual gimmickry of the actual broadcast, revealing the pure performance on DVD for the first time. Disc seven features the entire sixty-five minute recording session of a performance for the German Musikladen series in October 1973, most of which was never shown on television. Disc eight features more BBC TV performances, including a rendition of ‘Pandora’s Box’ from Top of the Pops in September 1975 and the band’s set for the Sight and Sound In Concert series in March 1977. This lavish re-mastered set also features a sixty-eight page hard backed book with an essay by Patrick Humphries and a lengthy in depth commentary on the performances featured by respected Procol Harum authority Roland Clare. The book also includes many previously unseen photographs and memorabilia from Gary Brooker’s private collection. Still There’ll Be More also includes a 60cm x 40 cm reproduction poster from a Procol Harum concert in 1976. (Amazon)

Superb! By far the best retrospective ever done on this underrated band. Quite a gift to myself. Enjoying listening to the music while reading over the informative liner notes.
