I found a error on Procol Harum's self titled debut album (1967) which the album cover picture backwards. Like this: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=5722"> Should be facing the other way round. I'm suprised it hasn't been noticed!!(MURAH LOCORP)

Wow, this is really news! Oh wait, now I know, it has been re-released under the name A Whiter Shade Of Pale, hasn't it? And then probably with the letters in the normal way. The original album didn't have the song A Whiter Shade Of Pale on it, because the fans already bought that as a single, if I'm not mistaken. I love it, the days of anti-commercialism

I thought about explaining this at first and for some lack of time (an emergency), I did not But you are spot on with this! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

hmm must go home and check my copy ... Another point is that IMO "The Long Goodbye" should probably not be listed as a studio album ... from the clips I heard this is a re-recording of 11 old Procol songs plus one new song with a live orchestra ... even though I can't hear an audience, I think the listing should probably be changed to live album Any thoughts from anyone really familiar with this album? ------------- "Death to Utopia!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yup I have my doubts about that one too! I'll see if they have it at the library , but I am not that keen on borrowing it. Apparently this was new recordings with a symphonic orchestra. I'll check iot up anyway VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Is that really true, Hughes? Or is it an urban myth? I can't see any mention of that on the band's own Web site, and the LP cover they show on the official Web site is the following:

I remeber seeing this cover a few times in the 70's and it exists also on CD Although my CD is called A Whiter Shade Of Pale (as Moogtron III) mentions with the extra tracks ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I just finished the book Beyond the Pale and it does not mention the artwork being backwards.
I have seen it in cd and vinyls for certain, but maybe they were bootlegs
