Sessions played by Procolers

Principally from 1968 - 1985

Most of this session information comes from a German encyclopaedia called Rock Musiker, and was sent to BtP by Yan Friis. The book contains the names of 80,000 musicians, the records they played on, their instruments, record label, and year of release. The author was KD Tilch (his address at the time: Agricolastr. 33 A, 1000 Berlin 21), and printed by Taurus Press in 1988 (their address at the time: Stapelfelder Str. 9, 2000 Hamburg 73).

The same publisher is also responsible for the excellent five volume encyclopaedia Rock LPs, containing information on 40,000 different albums: all the musicians listed on the cover, instruments played, label information, year of realease, and of course: every single track on every single album.

Eventual misspellings or errors should be blamed on them, not Yan. He excluded all recordings with The Paramounts and Procol Harum.

Since the page was first created, we have added items from various contributors: so not all of this is in the book!
