Procol Harum - Shine On Brightly - 07 - In Held 'Twas In I Part 2

I am thankfull to this day that I puchased this album.....

[AdamAtz]

I agree with criskar5 - This is the Best Album of All time - and I have a huge collection - It is a step above Peter Gabriel's Genesis (esp Foxtrot) and Tim Buckley's Happy Sad. This blows Sgt Pepper away, I am sorry to say. Why it was not heralded as the best thing since Buddy Holly when it was released, I don't know. It is so amazing in it's ability to be both beautiful and passionate, simple and yet deeply philisophical. It just washes my soul clean, and I am ready to believe again

Some say that I'm a wise man

Some say that I'm a fool

It doesn't matter either way

I'll be a wise man's fool...

thanks for posting this from end to end ...a great album, arguably the best by Procul Harum ... i bought it back in 1970 expecting more of "whiter shade of pale" and was so pleasantly surprised to get something even better

[monkeybutler20]

much better than lady gaga

This is a gem of an album by Procol Harum. Thanks for posting.

[chriskar5]

The best album of all times and the best set of Procol Harum ever!

[bobsam55]

One of the most underated groups of all time

[FrancisFurtak]

Oh yeah I couldn't agree more. But in my day I was a teenager when this came out and people still weren't getting it. What can I say, except that you it ! Thanks

This part of the song was Robin Trower's chance to shine on lead guitar. A great ending for one of the most absolutely fantastic musical compositions of the modern era.

I was spending the summer on a 100 year old farm outside Fairfield, Idaho(pop.500) when this album came out. My cousin had just bought it and I cant begin to describe how "cool" we thought it was. I so like finding it on youtube--I still have it on vinyl, buried and inaccessable I my garage...and yes I like the idea of playing for all those "hoity-toitys" of the world--but I think they 'ought to have a whole-lotta "natural"herbage and maybe a few shots to "mellow-out"...

the end of this haunting song is the most impressive of all the music history..... and marvellous..he bring us to heaven or inside the Divine Comedia from Dante Alighieri

I discovered these guys through Transatlantic; I'm so glad I did! That was amazing.

The Pope, the President, The Mullahs, The People's Chairman, the generals should be brought to a comfortable room with a superb sound system, made comfortable and given 400 mcs of acid , the lights lowered and this album played.

[serengiv]

@thestoryplease right man ! if there was any justic ein this world, the song would be played everyday...like a forever new thing

This is great, I love Procul Harum and hate that all anyone knows is "Whiter Shade of Pale," They made 10 albums each one a winner, and someday someone will set the record straight. Thanks for posting this.

[BenniMuzak]

they surely were heavily influenced by the beatles... sounds great, especially Transatlantic's Version.

[knarffit]

one of my favori

te solos of all time.
