This review is from: Whiter Shade of Pale (Audio CD)

You probably only know their two biggest hits-- A Whiter Shade of Pale and Conquistador. There was so much more to this ambitious, earthy and memorable band. Gary Brooker's soulful vocals managed to integrate R&B grit with touches of prog rock. A major if forgotten influence, Procol Harum's best work touches on a number of different styles.

This single disc collection collates their best album tracks and singles onto a single disc. While it could have made room for a number of other key album tracks such as Crucification Lane and Whisky Train. The sound quality is pretty good but the cover of the CD is about as godawful as one could imagine. Hey, even a photo would be better than the pretentious mess of the cover.
