PROCOL HARUM ~ PROCOL HARUM LP

Original 1967 U.K. first issue mono pressing released on the blue Regal Zonophone label LRZ 1001.

Description :

Very rare and hard to find psych classic that has become increasingly collectable over the last few years.

Procol Harum is the self-titled debut studio album by English rock band Procol Harum. It was released in September 1967. Though the album was recorded on multitrack, it was issued as mono only in the UK, and in mono and rechanneled stereo in the US. Despite extensive searching, the original multitrack tapes have not been located and thus a stereo mix of the original ten tracks may never be possible.

After "A Whiter Shade of Pale" became a huge hit, the band set out to consolidate their studio success by touring; their live debut was opening for Jimi Hendrix in 1967. The group's follow-up single, "Homburg", reached No. 6 in the UK, and No. 15 in Canada but was not a hit in the US. The album Procol Harum was recorded between the two hit singles, but was held back until early 1968 and contained neither of the aforementioned singles.
