The Palers' Project : Hidden Treasures
Featured on Internet Radio, 18 October 2004
John Rose in Chicago hosts a fine weekly internet radio show – The
Hidden Treasures of Rock – on Mondays from 12–4 PM
(Central Time) on http://uicradio.ws/: on 18
October he featured the two double-albums of music from The
Palers' Project, playing nine of the eighty tracks in their entirety:
thanks, John! It was fantastic to hear so much Procol Harum music interspersed
between songs from Bob Dylan's first album (recorded at a cost of $400), Tusk
from Fleetwood Mac, Pinups from David Bowie, Genesis's The Lamb
Lies Down on Broadway and many choice items from Mountain and Leslie West,
The Shins, Richard Thompson, et al.

The first album from The Palers' Project is Lost
in the Looking Glass (2002) consisting of 40 Procol Harum /
Matthew Fisher tracks, chiefly recorded in studios. 'Compulsive
listening,' said Gary Brooker, while Keith Reid opined that 'every home
should have one'. |
The second Palers' Project 2CD album – From
Shadow to Shadow – was released in May 2004. Like its
predecessor it contains 40 Procol Harum / Matthew Fisher / Gary Brooker /
Robin Trower / Paramounts tracks, chiefly recorded in studios. |
