Procol Harum – Grand Hotel (LP, Album, Terre Haute Pressing, Gatefold, 1973, Chrysalis CHR 1037)

Why This Record Matters
Procol Harum’s sixth studio album expands the band’s progressive-rock sound with orchestral and choral arrangements composed by Gary Brooker. Produced by Chris Thomas, the album features the title suite alongside “Bringing Home The Bacon” and “Fires (Which Burnt Brightly).”
