Procol Harum

'Grand Hotel'

Chrysalis, UK, 1973

CHR 1037

THE GRAND old men of progressive rock continued to impress and surprise us with a calvalcade of fine albums throughout the seventies helping to put to rest the ball and chain of 'Whiter Shade Of Pale'.

'Grand Hotel' was an adventurous affair - not exactly a concept album - but a damn fine statement of intent following the previous years live album 'Live In Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra'. Fusing the bands penchant for symphonic excess the music here straddles the need to comply with their past form yet reach out to the future with shorter concise tracks. Gary Brooker's voice is still on fine form - instantly identifiable and beautifully crisp - whilst guitars are handled by ex Cochise man Mick Grabham depping for Dave Ball who had recently left for pastures fresh.

Unofficial fith member Keith Reid provides, as usual, all lyrical contributions.

Pressing: Chrysalis, UK, 1973

Vinyl: Superb clean condition. One spindle mark on label and virtually no signs of use. Grades as MINT-!

Cover: Again, nice clean condition. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, extremely faint ring wear to rear panel, no split seams and no creases. Stiff and uncrushed spine - immaculate. Beautiful and impossible to find like this 41 years after release. Grades as MINT-!

Inserts: 24 page inner booklet containing lyrics and illustrations. MINT!

Matrix:

1st Pressing

Side One: CHR 1037 A - 2

Side Two: CHR 1037 B - 2
