Review - :
This Dutch best-of is and isn't a "definitive" collection of the highs of {$Procol Harum}'s illustrious career. It is in that over the 18 tracks it captures almost every major cut by the band, with the exception of the sadly overlooked {&"Whisky Train,"} {$Robin Trower}'s showcase. {&"A Whiter Shade of Pale,"} {&"Homburg,"} {&"A Salty Dog,"} {&"Conquistador (Live),"} {&"Grand Hotel,"} {&"She Wandered Through The Garden Fence,"} {&"Shine on Brightly,"} {&"Repent Walpurgis,"} they're all here, and plenty more. The compilation producers even included {$Gary Brooker}'s {&"Fear of Flying"} from his excellent solo album. Okay, so you wanna know why this isn't a definitive {$Procol Harum} collection? It sounds like they mastered these cuts from LPs. It is a reasonable certainty that this set was compiled either from CDs or from LPs, because it's flat and sounds more like an MP3 than a remastered tape. I have cassettes that sound better than this. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
