You'd Better Wait

Brooker / Reid

Words by Keith Reid Only one recording of this rare song is known ... from the end of Procol's Miami session from 1976. It's possible that Gary Brooker repeated one verse by mistake, and that Keith Reid didn't in fact repeat himself in this way. If a recording of the song's live performance (27 March 1976) ever turns up, we may be enlightened
