About This Movie

The Procol Harum Special is this intriguing slice of early '70s music documentary that really captures the essence of the band. Running about 55 minutes, it dives into the world of Procol Harum, showcasing their distinct blend of rock and classical influences. The special pulls you in with relaxed yet engaging performances, including their hit 'A Whiter Shade of Pale,' which is performed with a kind of haunting sincerity. There's this intimate feel as you meet the band members, and the pacing allows you to savor those moments, rather than rushing through. It's definitely a time capsule of musical exploration, not overly polished, but that’s what gives it character.

The Procol Harum Special is a somewhat rare find in collector circles, often overshadowed by more mainstream music documentaries. It was released on various formats, but the original broadcast has a certain charm that many collectors cherish. The scarcity of this title, especially in good condition, adds to its allure, as fans of the band seek to explore the deeper aspects of their music and legacy.
