A short while ago, I heard a
statement made by some people
that really surprised me. The
statemtn was "Hey, did you hear
that new group PROCAL
HARUM? The reason this was
surprising is that PROCAL
HARUM has been around for a
long time. I first started to listen
to their albums back in 1967.
PROCAL HARUM has turned
out some really fine music over
the past years. Their first album
was really a classic. It featured
five musicians that showed a
great talent for combining rock
with classical undertones. An
example of this is "A Whiter
Shade Of Pale," the group's first
hitk which was based on a Bach
cantata. From this first album
was taken the recent single
"Conquistador" which everyone
knows by now, I hope.
PROCOL HARUM came out
with two more albums with the
five members on the first album
"Shine On Brightly," the second
album, is one album everyone
seems to avoid. Even department
stores avoid stocking it, but if
you've listened to it, it is really a
good album. It wasn't the best,
but it was far from bad. The
third was "Salty Dog," which in
my estimation was their best
album. Each album is different
and unique due to the lyrical
talent of Keith Reid and the
musical ability of Gary Brooker.
The next two albums change
style and members. "Home," the
fourth album is really different
from the fist albums and very
gook in its own way. "Broken
Barricades," was the second
album of the four member
series, and it didn't quite meet
with PROCAL HARUM'S past
performances.
I've seen them live, and they
match the live album very well.

Across from Genetti's
even without a symphony
behind them. If you like to see
rowdy stage shows you won't
like them. They do what they're
good at—music not gymnastics.
I was overjoyed to hear thei
latest album entitled "Grand
Hotel." PROCAL HARUM is
starting to let their old style
creep out again. Don't get me
wrong, their more recent style is
far from being bad. With the
exception of "T.V. Caesar," the
album is fantastic.
Show the world that America
still has some taste. Instead of
buying the junk that has been
put out late.y, go out and buy
one of PROCAL HARUM'S
albums. You would do yourself
a big favor.

large number. Included, of
course, is the famous double

They have live recordings from
Isle of Wright, Royal Albert Hall

The sources for these tapes are
very wide including old tapes

BOOTLEG SURVEY city.
by Alan _Prichard
I've discovered that, after a
year's drought since passage of
Act S-646 barring bootlegs, 2 or
3 mail-order sources have
cropped up. They offer a very
wide selection of Ips, including
all the old famous bootlegs plus
many "new releases."
The most important
recordings are rare tapes of the
Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Bob
Dylan. If you are a real collector
of any of these, I'd suggest you
check the latest classified ads in
ROLLING STONE. The sources
of the recordings are often
incredible. They carry volume 1
and 2 of Beatle "outakes" of
their famous hits from 1963-65.
They sound very much like the

final versions only somewhere in
the song someone will play or
sing a wrong note. Of more
interest is an Ip with the
complete Beatles Fan Club.
Christmas recordings from
1963-69: I haven't heard this
one so I don't know what it's
like. They also carry the outakes
or whatever the "Let It Be"
album. You've probably seen
these before. They usually go by
the name "Kum Back" or "The
Get Back Sessions." There are 3
or 4 live Beatles albums,
including "Back in '64 at the
Hollywood Bowl" which is the
Capitol Records master tape
never released commercially. It
says in the catalog that this is
"the finest live Beatle bootleg in
existence." There are also 3
other very obscure recordings
from various sources.
They also sell a copy of the
soundtrack to the film" Don't
Look Back." These recordings
are a must for anyone really
interested in Bob Dylan
recordings, especially the very
early material.
Under Jimi Henderix is
included the famous double
album live from L.A. Forum
April 25, 1970 and 3 or 4 other
album of live and studio
material. Much of this is
interesting, if not the very best
of Hendrix. -
In addition to these are live
and studio albums by many
other groups—Rolling Stones
(many different albums), Leon
Russell, the Who, Grateful Dead,
Jefferson Airplane, Rod Stewart
and Faces and more. A live
album of James Ta for and Joni
Minor's

Mitchell together at Royal
Albert Hall; 1970 is available.
One album that is truly
outstanding is David Bowie's,
"In America." This is a live
stereo recording that is easily the
best recorded bootleg I've heard.
It sounds as good as any
commercially made record.
Most bootlegs are
monophonic only and the sound
quality varies. But it is
interesting to hear new or
different recordings by familiar
groups. Most of them sell for
$3.00 to $3.50 per record and
are usually worth the price,
though soundwise they hardly
ever match the commercially
made records.

SGA
Election
Results
In the recent SGA elections
of May 10, Warren Faust and
Mark Denke made good their bid
for the offices of President and
Vice-President respectively.
respectively for the following
academic year 1973-73.
Also elected for the office of
representative were the
following candidates: Bill
Crompton, Joe Morris, Eileen
Munro, Jack Yatsko, Mary
Melenchick, Steve Buenzli, Ken
Heydt, Carole Shenosky, John
Busher, Mike Petresky and Paul
Propiglia.
In a recent development,
SGA noted that there was one
representative lacking. In
response then, the SGA initiated
the next highest vote getter on
the list—Dave Trumbauer—as a
duly elected SGA representative.
A little over one third of the
student body voted this year,
and this is to be considered a
great improvement over last
year.
