Procol Harum and the Purple Horrors

... Speaking of vestal virgins, one has no intention of neglecting to mention Procol Harum, who, in their original incarnation, were equal parts Percy Sledge and rock-as-art pretensions (if hardly less fab for it), but who later went on to make some of the most powerful music of the era.

Robin Trower later became rich and famous emulating Hendrix, but for one's own money he never played more expressively than when he was a member of the Purple Horrors, as the zany lads called themselves when no one was around.

Treat yourself to an earful of Repent Walpurgis on their first album soon and often and hear for yourself! ...
