Proclaimers - Sunshine
On Leith
£5.49
Barely causing a ripple upon its 1988 release, Sunshine on Leith, the second album by Edinburgh's the Proclaimers, received new life five years down the road when the infectious "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" became a fluke hit following its inclusion on the soundtrack to Benny & Joon. Although nothing else on the album quite matches that Top Ten hit's energy or quirky charm, the duo's (twin brothers Charlie & Craig Reid) sophomore effort still manages to be a highly listenable & thoroughly enga ...

Procol Harum - A Salty
Dog + 6
£6.99
This album, the group's third, was where they showed just how far their talents extended across the musical landscape, from blues to R&B to classical rock. In contrast to their hastily recorded debut, or its successor, done to stretch their performance & composition range, A Salty Dog was recorded in a reasonable amount of time, giving the band a chance to fully develop their ideas. The title track is one of the finest songs ever to come from Procol Harum & one of the best pieces of progress ...

Procol Harum - All
This & More (3CD+DVD)
£19.49
This four-disc set (three CDs/one DVD) is tempting in the extreme, in both its packaging & what it seems to offer -- & it would seem to some that the first Procol Harum boxed set is long overdue. But it is almost certain to be a disappointment to all but the most hardcore fans of the group's work, despite a valiant effort by the producers to make it impressive. On the plus side, although there have been no shortage of Procol Harum compilations, ranging from early best-of LPs on Fly & A&M t ...

Procol Harum -
Broken Barricades
£6.99
Procol Harum squeezed the recording of their fifth album Broken Barricades in between tours, as was their custom. Besides the rolling title track, the opening songs on both sides of the album (Simple Sister & Power Failure) were storming rockers. The latter particularly emphasises just what a striking drummer BJ Wilson was ¨C one of the few players who could actually make a drum solo interesting (significantly, following a Joe Cocker session a few years before, Wilson had been Jimmy Page¡ s fi ...

Procol Harum - Grand
Hotel (Digitally
Remastered)
£6.99
Grand Hotel was released in March 1973 &, as so often during those heady years, it had to fight to be heard. Around the time of its release it was competing with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (still the best-selling album ever released by a British band), Paul Mc Cartney's Band on the Run, & a brace of albums apiece from Elton John, Bruce Springsteen & Roxy Music. But despite the intense competition, Grand Hotel once again proved Procol worthy of their place among those major player ...

Procol Harum - Live In
Concert With Edmonton
Symphony Orchestra
(40th
Anniversary Series)
£6.99
Procol Harum already had some experience with orchestral performance by the time Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra was recorded (in Alberta, Canada, November 1971) & this experience no doubt helped them to make what was a landmark in the notoriously tricky area of rock-classical fusion. The fact that they had a full symphony orchestra & choir as their 'backing band' meant that already symphonic songs like A Salty Dog, Whaling Stories & In Held ? Twas in I now came even ...

Procol Harum - Shine
On Brightly
(Digitally Remastered)
£6.99
After the multi-million selling "A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Procol Harum coalesced around a new line-up & cut a debut album in two days, the sales of which (because the hit song wasn't on it originally) were only fair, & a couple of new singles also failed to sell. Then they did Shine On Brightly, which initially drew on recordings going back to late 1967 -- in the course of preparing their first proper LP, the band junked an entire side of blues-based numbers in favor of the 18-minute suite ...

Procol Harum - Well's
On Fire
£10.49
On their first album of new material since 1991, The Well's on Fire is a return to form for Procol Harum. The band has shed most of the production gloss that dated The Prodigal Stranger & gets back to a beefier rock-based sound, resulting in their finest album in nearly 30 years. By the time you get to the chorus of " An Old English Dream" (the album's first track), you know you've locked onto the classic Procol arsenal -- capable of packing plenty of keyboard, drums, & guitar punch. The band ...

Procul Harum - Secrets
Of The Hive: The Best
Of Procul Harum
£8.99
When Procol Harum burst onto the pop charts in the summer of 1967 with one of the most unlikely Top 40 singles ever released, the slow, ominous, & endlessly mysterious "A Whiter Shade of Pale, the world scratched its head & wondered what this was all about. The song, with its Bach-inspired spooky church organ riff, still holds a good deal of that eerie mystery all these years later, & the superior mono mix of A Whiter Shade of Pale" is included in this two-disc, 35-track retrospective of ...

Prodigy (Dance) - Fat
Of The Land
£3.99
The Prodigy: Keith Flint, Maxim Reality (vocals); Liam Howlett (various instruments); Leeroy Thornhill. Additional personnel: Shahin Bada, Kool Keith, Crispin Mills (vocals); Jim Davies (guitar); Saffron (background vocals). FAT OF THE LAND was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Rock Album. Among the most anticipated releases of 1997, The Prodigy's third full-length album is a bulldozing rock-techno hybrid. But while the guitar/samples/hyper-beats mosaic that made " Firestarter" an MTV breakout ...
