Procol Harum's First Album

In stereo?


 

The front cover of this album is of course immensely familiar, and it has been reproduced countless times as the music it contained has been re-released again and again.

But what about the back cover? There's a slight but very interesting detail in the very bottom right-hand corner – a stereo catalogue number – that deserves close scrutiny!

I wish I still had the letter Regal Zonophone sent me in 1968! They said that, despite the implication on the sleeve, no plans existed for a stereo version of this album.
