Cube reissued two of
Procol Harum's best early albums,
A Whiter Shade of Pale and
A Salty Dog, as a double-LP set in 1972. There is certainly some good music on this set, but this isn't necessarily the way to acquire it. The original vinyl LPs had better fidelity and packaging, while subsequent CD reissues had improved audio and packaging, making those editions preferable to this set.
