Procol Harum

Beyond
the Pale

Procol Harum autographs

Bravo magazine, Germany, 1968

Thorsten Knublauch writes to 'Beyond the Pale': 'Here is something I bought years ago, signed in Nürnberg (Nuremberg) in 1968 during the Bee Gees tour. I have sent you years ago the pink ticket for your ticket selection. Perhaps Robin Trower wasn't available after the show.'

By the way – Thorsten is the author of an excellent forthcoming book 'about my first musical love': read all about it here. It is available on pre-order now and Thorsten will 'sell a couple of books myself "signed by the author"'.

Five men under one Homburg – and Procol Harum's success continues with their new line-up: following A Whiter Shade of Pale they score a fresh hit with Homburg
