PROCOL HARUM/THE PLATINUM COLLECTION PLAT 1003 (-81) UK MONO+STEREO

 After finding and falling in love with "The Platinum Collection Of The Move"  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-movethe-platinum-collection-plat.html  some time ago I was very happy to spot this in a bin just a week later. A twentyfour-track with another of my favourite sixties bands, just as they were back then. "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", "A Salty Dog", "Kaleidoscope", "Salad Days (Are Here Again)", "Conquistador", "She Wandered Through The Garden Fence", "Long Gone Geek", Homburg" and "Repent Walpurgis" all original mono, the rest true stereo. A to my taste stunning blend of gems, including 45 A:s and B:s combined with some of their best album cuts. A mix of sweet ballads, rock'n'roll, art music, melodic pop and hard core drama I doubt would leave any true music lover disappointed. Guess all tracks can be found on CD and/or as downloads, but if you're like me and want songs recorded for vinyl on vinyl and don't have access to all the originals, this is probably one of the best from the band you can get. And as vinyl compilations now suffer a decreasing popularity you probably won't have to cough up a lot if you can find a copy. Impossible to pick just a couple of favourites from such a cornucopia of wealth, but adding a few exemples below. To my knowledge this UK was the only issue. It had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (PRÖX*)  (FXÖ*)
