Procol Harum in the Early Days


Sheila Tarleton writes: 'From the Procol Harum Special Edition EP. Grainy and darkish, but I had fun doing them; also, from a Top of the Pops performance of A Whiter Shade of Pale, more black and white screenshots. I think this would have originated from film (removing the scratches was challenging!)
