Description

1977
'Something Magic' rarity from Gary Brooker's collection

Criteria Recording Studios, tracknames etc typed on to labels

Tracks
(Side A) Something Magic, Skating on Thin Ice, The Mark of the Claw, Strangers in Space

[Wizard Man, a late addition to album's the running order, is not yet featured on this pressing]

(Side B) The Worm and The Tree: (1) Introduction-Menace-Occupation, (2) Enervation-Expectancy-Battle, (3) Regeneration-Epilogue

Rare studio acetate, as shown by Gary's handwriting in biro on good stout cardboard sleeve; it also reads 'Brooker 4-tr LP'

This heavy in-house acetate hails from the Miami studio where Procol recorded this controversial yet enduring album

'Gary Brooker', signed in red Sharpie on B side on 17 September 2012 in my presence at the Brooker residence. The record comes from Gary's own collection and was signed for the specific purpose of this auction to fans ... the winner will be the second owner only.

Seemingly unplayed. If marks appear on the photo, they're probably reflections of the photographer's hands etc
We're donating half the takings from this sale to The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, at the request of Gary Brooker's widow.

So ... please bid generously !
