Description
An expanded 2 disc edition of the acclaimed Procol Harum album “Grand Hotel”. Released in March 1973 the album was the first to feature a line-up of Gary Brooker (piano vocals) Alan Cartwright (bass) Chris Copping (organ) Mick Grabham (guitars) and B.J. Wilson (drums). From the sumptuously orchestrated title track to compositions such as ‘For Liquorice John’ ‘Fires (Which Burnt Brightly)’ ‘Bringing Home The Bacon’ ‘Toujours L’Amour’ and ‘Robert’s Box’ - “Grand Hotel” defied classification but remains one of Procol Harum’s best loved and most admired works. This expanded two disc edition includes five bonus tracks (three previously unreleased) taken from the early recording sessions along with a DVD (NTSC / Region Free) featuring a previously unreleased performance filmed for RTBF television in Belgium from November 1973. The release also features a replica of the book included with the original LP of “Grand Hotel” and a further lavishly illustrated booklet featuring material from Gary Brooker’s personal archive and an essay by Procol Harum authority Roland Clare featuring comments from Gary Brooker.
