MER 70, 1981: Whichever way you look at it, this is a superb piece of graphic design for those who are familiar with the traditional picture-rail / chimney-breast arrangement in British domestic architecture; it's as if you're lounging by the fire, looking up at the ceiling (which has flown away, of course) ...

MER 181, 1984: The Long Goodbye / Trick of the
Night The Phonogram press-release for this single read, 'Gary Brooker, who, 17 years ago, penned the classic Whiter Shade of Pale, joins forces with various band members of Procol Harum to bring you Gary's solo offering the Long Goodbye. The single is probably the most populous record released this year, featuring no fewer than eighty people, including the massed voices of the London Community Gospel Choir, and an orchestra that could only be housed in EMI's massive No 1 Studio.' |

Mercury MER 188, 1985: Two Fools in Love / Summer Nights This ballad eventually became a minor
hit in duet form for Gary with Lori Spee; this release
has the curious Summer Nights
on its B Side, here rightly credited to Brooker / Fisher
/ Sutherland |
Many thanks to Thierry Noritop for his great generosity!
