Gary Brooker in his garden on 17 September 2021, having just written the dedication ... he's clearly letting go of a treasured memory
Excellent portrait of the favoured Home / Barricades line-up

The cover of this lavish promo-boxset (which is a tad rumpled) shows Procol
singing
Maybe it's Because I'm a Londoner with Chris Copping at the piano
You can hear it on one of the many vinyl sides listed below
Reprinted of the famous 'faceless' promo article, 'Procol Harum for the
millions'
'usually somewhere darker'
Historic Procol biography, spelling 'Sandie' inaccurately, but 'most
consistently underrated' is spot-on
It looks like a set of negatives ...
But it's an illusion (if a convincing one!)
'These are Procol Harum'. This am a strange way of putting it.
Montage of seven Procol pictures and one random train-spotter snap. Nice
hat, Gary ...
Reprint of an influential Bud Scoppa article ... or part of it ...
Excellent glossy promo snap of this superb line-up ... ready for framing
Broken Barricades, the original die-cut sleeve (a bit worn)
Broken Barricades, the original die-cut sleeve, inside: first time
the musicians had been pictured with their instruments on an album cover.
Pleasing to note that they're in alphabetical order of surname
The A side, with reflection of photographer's arms
The B side, similarly with reflection of photographer's arms
Listing for the contents of another vinyl album in the same box

As BJ Wilson says, 'If you could write it all down, from beginning to end, what
has happened to this group legally and financially, people would never believe
it'.
An excellent sampler of 'Procol Harum's greatest non-hits' ... the first time Long Gone Geek appeared on a long-player. Track 5 is unusually titled!
Back to the main list of auction vinyl to see the full range of goodies on offer. The auction proceeds will be shared between cancer charities chosen by Franky Brooker, and the Procol website, as was Gary's wish.'
