A few years ago when my parents were still alive, we had gone to a restaurant for lunch, and they were playing the London Symphony Orchestra's cover of this. My mother could not believe that it was a cover of a song from 1967...she thought it was much newer.
In better days long ago out from the radio jumped this mesmerizing song the likes of which had never been heard before, or since. Still continues to cast a spell whenever played. Well done.
Great stereo on this classic. Their debut single and one of the most successful selling of all time with sales of 10 million. Love the prominent drumming on your remix. Another unique single choice. Cheers and thanks!
Cathedral Tone on Late Great Gary Brooker's Organ playing is astounding as is His singing. And of course got to give a nod to their Guitar player Robin Trower. A well crafted Composition & truly a signature sound from back in the day..
Lyrics : We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels ’cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, ’there is no reason And the truth is plain to see.’ But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well’ve been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, ’i’m home on shore leave,’ Though in truth we were at sea So i took her by the looking glass And forced her to agree Saying, ’you must be the mermaid Who took neptune for a ride.’ But she smiled at me so sadly That my anger straightway died If music be the food of love Then laughter is its queen And likewise if behind is in front Then dirt in truth is clean My mouth by then like cardboard Seemed to slip straight through my head So we crash-dived straightway quickly
🎧 👍 "And although my eyes were open, they might just as well been closed" As embarrassing as it is, I have been there. This is one of those especially mono songs that one would have never thought would be available to hear in stereo. Thank you, Pat. There is a Trooper song called, Oh, Pretty Lady that has an opening organ that reminds me a bit of this song (well very faintly anyway). @radiowollaton8521

I don't want to criticize too much but ob the rigt channel seems to be an additionally organ with high chords notes included that I can't distinguish in the original mix.

This is a song of my youth and when I listen to it.I wish it could play forever. Along with Conquistador and A Salty Dog,it is haunting.
This is another voice that will last forever.
j' adore les bonnes années
Beautiful voice that got better with age. RIP Sir Gary Brooker ❤

It is a magical sound, I just love it.
This is my favorite song of the 60s ! I was 11 when it first came out in 1967 ! Love 60s music the very best but love to hear most music !
Thanks Patti. I was 11 in 1967 as well !
The sound of the 60s, a fantastic tune very well enhanced. 👍👍

IN HEAVEN , AS IT CERTENLY SOUNDS
HEAVENLY .. I'LL BE THERE SOON .
This was the best Time of melodic Hand Made Music to dream and relax ♡

Matthew Fisher played the organ on this track, not Gary Brooker! See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Fisher_(musician)
Why couldn't they release it like this?? This was done so well! 🙏
I don't understand the record companies. This remix was so easy to make!
@@radiowollaton8521 They should re-release it mixed like this.
They can’t find the 4 tracks, and even then I think there were dubs done *during* the mono mixdown, possibly.
One of my all time favorites ❤
Love it!!
Thank You!
Perfection +++
I consider myself fortunate beyond belief that I have heard this amazing song performed live by PH.
God job💛👍
Thank for the remix... its much enjoyable in stereo mix.
Excellent remix of an outstanding song, almost a time capsule! Bravo
Thanks Louis
One of my favourites, thank you very much, interesting mix 😎 👍 Love it.
👍👍
Lyrics :
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels ’cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, ’there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.’
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well’ve been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, ’i’m home on shore leave,’
Though in truth we were at sea
So i took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, ’you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.’
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
A good remix. Thank you.
Thank you.
Its standing on 10 , hard , i love it , top top
Oh my..brings me back to those "hazy smoked filled black light playrooms in 67' when I took my 1st tokes of weed...oh those memories...
Thanks, great post music, good time for you
Thank you
Procol harum is amazing
Yes!

Thanks Bill. This is one of my early remixes that doesn't need replacing. I think I got this one right !
This was a precursor of prog rock to come.
😎 ❤ and how about Pilot - Magic and Stylistics - you are everything
very nice cleaned up
👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏
A Whiter Shade Of Pale
The BB Band
We skipped the light fandango
우리는 가볍게 판당곡 춤을 추었죠
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
플로어를 가로질러 카트휠을 하면서
I was feeling kind of seasick
나는 마치 배멀미를 하는 것 같았지만
The crowd called out for more
사람들은 더 하라고 소리를 질러댔어요
The room was humming harder
방안은 점점 더 소란스러워 졌지요
As the ceiling flew away
천장을 날려버릴 듯
When we called out for another drink
우리가 술한잔을 더 청하자
But the waiter brought a tray
웨이터가 쟁반에 술을 받쳐왔지만
And so it was that later
너무 늦은 일이었어요
As the miller told his tale
밀러가 자신의 이야기를 하기 시작하자
That her face at first just ghostly
그녀의 얼굴이 처음엔 유령처럼 하얗게 질리더니
Turned a whiter shade of pale
점점 더 창백하게 변해갔어요
She said there is no reason
그녀는 아무런 이유도 없다고 말했지만
And the truth is plain to see
진실은 명백하게 보였죠
But I wandered through my playing cards
그러나 나는 카드 게임에만 빠져있었어요
And would not let her be one of the sixteen vestal virgins
그리고 그녀를 16세기 수녀처럼 만들지 않으려 했죠
Who are leaving for the coast
그녀를 해안으로
And although my eyes were open
비록 내 두눈은 뜨여있었지만
They might just as well been closed
감겨있는 것과 마찬가지였어요

Gotta listen again . . . and again . . . this is so, so good! Was that chord organ in the original?
TOP TOP TOP
How do you turn gold into platinum........well, like this.
I don't want to criticize too much but ob the rigt channel seems to be an additionally organ with high chords notes included that I can't distinguish in the original mix.
That's because I layer extra sounds. Have a look at my About Page for more information.
Not Bad
@ Grim Reaper. 'Not Bad'?? It's an excellent stereo mix!!
