Story & Background
Procol Harum's self-titled debut, a 1967 milestone, hides a crucial peculiarity for every collector: its first British pressing, on Regal Zonophone, conspicuously excludes the iconic single "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Already a global success, the record label opted not to include it, in order not to cannibalise album sales, a common practice for 45s of exceptional resonance. Consequently, buyers of the original UK edition found themselves faced with a listening experience that, while rich in gems, lacked their most famous track. This choice creates a fundamental distinction with the American version (Deram), which instead opened with that very single, making the 1st British pressing a cult object and an authentic testament to a precise record label philosophy of the time.
