Procol Harum - A Salty Dog. 1969. Prog rock at its finest. I didn't have a copy of my own and when I went looking for it, couldn't find any shop with it in stock. I saw it advertised from Virgin by mail order, but they refunded my money a few weeks after I ordered it, saying that they couldn't source it because Regal Zonophone deleted it from their catalogue. I had all of my 6th form friends keeping an eye open for it and someone spotted a copy in a shop a few miles away. He bought it, and was going to sell it to me, but then told me he was thinking of keeping it for himself, but then relented and sold it to me. I eventually got a CD copy, when that new and innovative technology appeared. There was a similar problem years later, when my vinyl copy of Broken Barricades had been played to death. It was the only album from their back catalogue that their record company never released on CD. Eventually, Gary Brooker released it on his own label, mail order only. Here Endeth this chapter of the Prog Rock Encyclopedia. |
