I have a theory procol harem never caught on because of that atrocious name... (I like it but that's just terrible for making publicity. That's like naming your band something hard to pronounce...)

I think it is because Trower left and became a bigger name on his own.

I had this LP collection. I think it costs like $15 at the time. That was a lot of money.

Yeah good point. Just seemed like they were a flash in the pan. Although whiter shade of pale is a good song.

This is a relatively unkonwn Deep Purple track (from the first line up) that is well worth a listen.

They really weren't that good. For a small time they had popularity.

A lot of '60s bands can say that.

True I hated that. Run out and buy an LP and that's all they did.

Blues Image and Pacific Gas & Electric come to mind.

Any of them from Salisbury (their second) through The Magician's Birthday (their fifth) are well worth listening to. The first album was real raw and with Sweet Freedom (the sixth) they became too stale...

Which one do you like best?

Didn't end well for them either:

Tom Marshall later suffered deteriorating health and personal circumstances, being homeless since the 1980s. Frank Petricca became a commodity broker. Charlie Allen died in 1990, aged 48.

Best? Choosing between those 4 (Salisbury, Look at Yourself, Demons & Wizards, The Magician's Birthday) is hard to do. If pressed I'd say Demons & Wizards though Salisbury's title track is a 16 minute opus that was unequaled by the band.
