I must admit it was strangely addictive. Girls looked great...Swedish you see

Great band bud. May put on some others in the morning.

Thanks bud, but posting the second worst song of all time is a slightly back-handed compliment!
Any way you could delete it?

Nice version, solo
Shame the Kinks didn't really manage to reform. A mixture of the usual sibling rivalry, plus Dave was afflicted with some mental illness over the years.

No.363: "Procol Harum" by Procol Harum (1967)
In the U.S. this debut album from Gary Brooker's superior 60's band was entitled A Whiter Shade Of Pale after the huge hit of the same name and had a slightly different track listing. For the home market, the album was simply a good showcase of this band's high class musicianship and cleverly formed songs. A stellar band who still perform to this day.
