## 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 band's debut single 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' and the follow up single 'Homburg' and built on the creative path begun on Procol Harum's 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".Newly re-mastered from the original tapes, this 3 CD clamshell box Deluxe edition of "Shine on Brightly" has been expanded to include the 1968 Mono mix of the album (released on CD for the first time) and 20 bonus tracks (9 previously unreleased) drawn from studio sessions, single mixes and three BBC radio sessions recorded in 1968, featuring 9 previously unreleased recordings. This expanded deluxe edition also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay by Procol Harum biographer Henry Scott-Irvine and also includes a poster.

Review: A SECOND SIGNPOST OF LATE '60S PROGRESSIVE-ROCK/CLASSICAL MUSIC/TRIPPY LYRICS FROM PROCOL HARUM. - THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE 2015 ESOTERIC LABEL 3 CD SET. "There were probably some psychedelic drugs involved in that one." Gary Brooker on "Shine On Brightly". In the present time it's impossible for Procol Harum fans of later generations to fully understand just how new, different, ambitious, and exciting this music was when it was first released. Their first album (also reissued by Esoteric) put music fans on notice that here was a band that stood out from the pack. If you're reading this chances are you're already familiar with the band and this album, so dissecting each track is a waster of time. Suffice to say that the band's first three albums (especially) set new parameters for what "rock" music could be. Some fans of the band will be happy with the 2009 reissues--and that's okay--but long time fans (like me) are ecstatic to have the mono version of the album (never on CD) along with live tracks and demos, singles, and alternate recordings. The remastered sound (from original tapes) is at least as good as the 2009 (and some fans noted that there was a problem with tape speed) and may be a bit more open sounding--but I usually leave the audiophile stuff to those more knowledgeable about such things. To my ears this edition sounds great. There's a thick 24 page booklet (including covers) with period graphics, some good period photos, and an essay by band biographer Henry Scott-Irvine which is well worth your time. Plus, there's a poster included (similar to the poster in the newly reissued first album on Esoteric) that's pretty cool but nothing to really get excited about--but the graphics are nicely done--of the album cover artwork. The original artwork has been restored, the discs are inside cardboard jackets (with album graphics and a list of tunes on the back) and everything is in a clam shell box, also with nicely done graphics. The three color postcards have reproductions of Procol Harum gigs--again, nice but not totally essential. And with both stereo and mono mixes of the album, along with BBC and studio recordings from the period (20 unreleased) this just may be the best this album will ever be presented. Disc 1: tracks 1-11 are the original 1968 album, tracks 12-14 are bonus tracks of the title song in Italian from 1967 and both 'A' and 'B' sides of the mono '67 single "Quite Rightly So" b/w "In The Wee Small Hours of Sixpence". Disc 2: tracks 1-11 is the (previously unheard on CD) mono version of the album (and if you like good mono sound this is pretty cool) which is actually nice to hear as a stand-alone album. Disc 3: tracks 1-9 include various mono/stereo backing tracks and alternates, tracks 10-17 are BBC Top Gear sessions from '68--including "Quite Rightly So", "Shine On Brightly", "Skip Softly My Moonbeams", "Wish Me Well", "Long Gone Geek", and "In Held 'Twas In I (Look To Your Soul/Finale)". These live BBC tracks from Feb/Aug./Oct. '68 are good examples of what the band sounded like live--a bit heavier and more urgent sounding--than their studio stuff--and are a highlight. Needless to say this album follows along from the band's first album (but with a different bass player) and was one of the better progressive-rock albums of the era. The band continued to combine rock with classical flourishes and Keith Reid's sometimes psychedelic lyrics. A blend of Trower's powerful blues-based guitar and Mathew Fisher's classical/churchy organ sounds and Gary Brooker's piano, along with B.J. Wilson's perfect drumming made this album another signpost of the late '60s/early '70s. Now I'm waiting for "A Salty Dog" to be reissued.
Review: LONG AWAITED REMASTERING! - At long last, this may be the definitive stereo re-mastering of one of the greatest classic rock albums from the 60's. Shine on Brightly has been a dear friend of mine for almost 50 years. If you are also a fan and own the original vinyl and/or previous CD releases, I highly recommend you acquire this 2015 release. The clarity and stereo separation (and yes, the recording speed is correct this time!) are unprecedented. Darken the room, put on headphones and travel back in time when music & lyrics were truly transcendental!

*by R***N on March 4, 2012*

A great price on a classic through the Amazon network. I had the vinyl version years ago, but had trouble finding this on other services such as itunes. For some reason this cd is missing, and I always considered this PH's best collection of tunes. I believe that it is their most creative and artistic cd and the vocals are crisp. A joy to kick back and listen to on a peaceful afternoon.
