Procol Harum picture-sleeves : A Whiter Shade of Pale

Israel	196?	A Whiter Shade of Pale / A Salty Dog / Homburg Polydor (ECHO 101)
Denmark	1967	A Whiter Shade Of Pale / Lime Street Blues : Deram (DM 126) 'Procol Harum is neither a group nor an individual, but five people who have come together to experiment with music and ideas. They don’t create a ‘sound’ but a collection of individual sounds blended together by mutual sympathy and respect. There is no final product only a series of experiments on a theme, experiments which are never conclusive. Music, words and execution are one as can be heard in their first single release, A Whiter Shade of Pale, on Deram.'

Denmark	Not 1967 !	A Whiter Shade of Pale / Lime Street Blues (Deram 126) An obvious mistake: "The Scandinavia 1967"-issue cannot stem from 1967. The picture in the upper right corner shows the Home / Broken Barricades line-up. Even though I am not absolutely sure about it, I would say it is from Denmark. Tormod Ringvold My wife, Ingelise, remembers having bought it in Denmark, long before I met her (it might be the reason for marrying her :-) ) when she returned from a job in Frankfurt in 1970. There is no date on the sleeve, but '1967' is printed on the record itself. The price, DKK 12,50, appears on the back of the sleeve. It's not easy to come up with a firm conclusion. Peter Justesen
