PROCOL HARUM "a whiter shade of pale" b/w "lime street blues" 1967
this "a" side would be up there in my top10 songs of all time...
John Lennon thought the same...he once said that the first time he heard it it "blew his mind apart" and "this is the greatest song of the 1960s"...high praise indeed!
i habe no idea what this song is about,but whatever it is, its got "it"
unfortunately, the same cant be said for the "b" side, its a big let down after hearing the "a" side...
"b" side is simple straightforeward 1960s UK r+b pop
single got exactly where it deserved to get in the charts making it to #1
