“Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" from the eclectic British band Procol Harum, which has the distinction of placing two of the most unlikely songs at the top of the singles chart five years apart with "Whiter Shade of Pale" in 1967 and "Conquistador" in 1972. My ultra-rare interview features organist Matthew Fisher, lyricist the late Keith Reid, guitarist on the first three studio albums, Robin Trower, and the late singer/pianist Gary Brooker.
