## Description

Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1968 album by Procol Harum. Released in the UK in December 1968, Shine on Brightly followed on from the huge international success in 1967 of the bands debut single A Whiter Shade of Pale and the follow up single Homburg and built on the creative path begun on Procol Harums self-titled debut album issued in January 1968. Gary Brooker (voice, piano), Robin Trower (lead guitar), David Knights (bass guitar), B.J. Wilson (drums) and Matthew Fisher (Hammond organ) took the music of the band to new heights with this, their second album. Dominated by the 17-minute epic suite In Held Twas in I, Procol Harum re-wrote the rule book of popular music with the material written and recorded for Shine On Brightly. 3CD clamshell version includes 1968 Mono mix (on CD for the first time) and 20 bonus tracks (9 unreleased) drawn from studio sessions, single mixes and three BBC radio sessions recorded in 1968. Features a new essay by Procol Harum biographer Henry Scott-Irvine and also includes a poster.

    Great Album - Great Remastering
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2010*

The first four Procol Harum albums have, like the Move's, been remastered and released by the Salvo label. "Shine on Brighly" was Procol Harum's second album, and it is often regarded as perhaps their finest. With the new remastering the music has never sounded better, and another interesting feature is that it is now possible to play the songs from the long suite "In Held Twas In I" separately - an option I have often wished for.The bonus-tracks are great too, some of them as good as the album-tracks. Especially the great B-side "In the Wee Small Hours of Sixpence" - a song I remember them playing in Denmark on their 1970 tour."Monsieur Armand" and "Seem to Have the Blues" are bluesy out-takes which have been released several times before, but I have never heard the sounding so great as on this release. "McGreggor" is another fine song, which probably never reached a finished stage - but a great recording anyway. "The Gospel According to" is actually an alternate version of "Wish Me Well" - and not very different from the album version.The alternative version of "Magdalene" has been released before - but sounding pretty poor. The sound has been restored markedly for this release - but the chorus still sound pretty weird."A Robe of Silk" is a fine melodic instrumental, which the group decided to re-record for their "The Well's on Fire" album. Interesting too, to hear the acoustic guitar on the backing track of "In the Wee Small Hours of Sixpence".Like the rest of the Salvo-releases this album has fine informative liner-notes.

    Procol Harum hit the heights
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2014*

This album from 1968 is, quite simply, a masterpiece; the gorgeous chords emanating from Matthew Fisher's organ at the start of the superb 'Quite Rightly So' sets the scene for a wonderfully varied collection of psychedelic rock with the main players (Fisher, the wonderful pianist/vocalist Gary Brooker, powerhouse guitarist Robin Trower, drummer B.J Wilson and bassist David Knights) all making significant contributions throughout. The title track ('Shine On Brightly') is classic Procol - Keith Reid's lyrics are totally weird, but, frankly, who cares when the music is this good! Of the other shorter tracks, 'Rambling On' is a superbly crafted ballad whilst 'Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone) is another lovely song. The 17-minute 'In Held 'Twas In I' which closes the album is impossible to describe ~ think the Moody Blues at their weirdest and you're getting warm! Certainly this is Progressive rock at its most esoteric so just lie back and let Brooker & Co take you on a magical journey. Definitely an LP to buy if you love early Procol Harum.

    One of rock's great curiosity albums
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2009*

Gasping in disbelief at their failure to achieve album success, Brooker and Co set themselves the target of creating the psychedelic album to end all psychedelic albums - rush recorded, appalling sound levels, strategic intercontinental release dates that would have fans losing interest in their droves....after their debut single, nothing they produced would ever seem more than a hastily recorded B-side.  And the short tracks on this album adequately fit that bill, bitsy bits of nothingness with added chorus and the occasional Whirlitzer-style ballroom organ solo.  Then we come to the Magnum Opus, In Held Twas In I.  Apart from the Moody Blues no one else in the late 60s would have dared such a venture, and the Moodies were looking after the 3-minute-attention-span audience, so Procol had the initiative all to themselves.  The epic full-album-side rock track, emulated by many great bands to follow!  The remastering is flawless, and those out there who perpetually fret that the level clipping in the Grand Finale will never be remedied are in for a surprise - it's gone!  No nasty crackling as the choir hits the crescendo notes.Those new to Procol Harum should listen carefully to this album, as it will seem very familiar - many of today's new retro-sounding bands pinch bits and pieces (er, Mr Jones).  A lavish LP-style gatefold cover and notes booklet accompany this release, and if you seem to remember it had a different cover once....well the buxom model leaning over the grand paino somewhere in the nevada desert and all tinted metallic green is shown somewhere inside.
