Broken Barricades is the fifth studio album by English rock band Procol Harum, released in 1971. It was guitarist Robin Trower's last recording with the group until The Prodigal Stranger (1991).
"Song for a Dreamer" is a tribute to late Jimi Hendrix from Trower, who was stunned by Hendrix's death in September 1970 at the age of 27.

Exotic Birds and Fruit is the seventh full-length studio album by British progressive rock band Procol Harum. It was released in 1974. Of special note is the release of the album in Argentina, calling the album "Pájaros Y Frutas Exóticas" (literally translated as "Birds and Exotic Fruit"). The cover artwork for the album is by Jakob Bogdani, a noted Hungarian artist whose paintings centred on exotic birds and fruit.

Grand Hotel is the sixth studio album by Procol Harum. Released in 1973, it signalled a change of direction for the band. Guitarist Dave Ball who had joined the band for their live album the previous year left shortly after the photo shoot for the proposed album's cover to be replaced by Mick Grabham. Grabham's head was superimposed on the front and back cover of the album on Ball's body. Although the band had gone through significant personnel changes in previous years, the band would enter its most stable phase with this line up.
The album reached No. 21 on the Billboard album charts. It peaked at #4 in Denmark, where the group was always well received.

Procol Harum Live: In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, by the English band Procol Harum together with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, was released in 1972; it was recorded at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 18 November 1971. The album was very successful on the Billboard Top 200, peaking at No. 5. It is the band's best-selling album, certified Gold by the RIAA.

Procol Harum is the debut studio album by English rock band Procol Harum. It was released in September 1967 by record label Deram in the US, following their breakthrough and immensely popular single "A Whiter Shade of Pale". The track doesn't appear on the UK version of the album, but was included on the US issue. The UK version of the album was released in December 1967 by record label Regal Zonophone.

A Salty Dog has an ostensibly nautical theme, as indicated by its cover (a pastiche of the famous Player's Navy Cut cigarette pack). Interspersed with straight rock, blues and pop items, A Salty Dog showed a slight change of direction from its predecessors, being thematically less obscure. The title track itself was the first Procol track to use an orchestra, as would be referred to in the live album performance released some three years later.
The album was the first record produced by Matthew Fisher, who quit the band soon after its release. This was also the last Procol Harum album to feature bass guitarist Dave Knights.

SITD, stylised [:SITD:], is a German EBM and industrial band founded in 1996 by Carsten Jacek and Thorsten Lau as Shadows in the Dark.

Альбом получил в целом положительные отзывы критиков. Брет Адамс с сайта Allmusic отмечает на этом вполне очевидное влияние Yes и Genesis, а также The Beatles и Led Zeppelin. Он называет «Stormchaser» выдающейся песней и говорит, что в ней наиболее сильно чувствуются отголоски Led Zeppelin. В заключение Адамс говорит, что альбом «превосходит ожидания и является достойным дополнением к наследию Хэкетта и Сквайра». Итоговая оценка — 4 из 5.
Более сдержано оценивает альбом обозреватель журнала Classic Rock Дэвид Стаббс. Он оценивает альбом в 5 из 10 и говорит, что «альбом спасает генеалогия Хэкетта и Сквайра и свойственное им качество, но скорее всего он будет представлять интерес лишь для их поклонников, а не для широкой аудитории».

The albums Tutu, Amandla, Live Around the World, Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux, and Doo-Bop are each here in their entirety, as are excerpts from the soundtracks to Siesta and Dingo. The latter is orchestrated by Davis and Michel LeGrand; the album was only issued in Europe and Japan. Siesta (which featured Davis in his only major film role) and its soundtrack were slammed by critics and failed to connect with the buying public.

В начале карьеры у Мирей Матьё был очень сильный южный авиньонский акцент, к тому же она частенько путала звуки «б» и «п», глотала слова, не знала нот. Двигаться по сцене не умела, а смеялась, по утверждению своего менеджера Джонни Старка, как гренадёр. Впервые увидев чёрную икру, она назвала её «чечевицей, пахнущей рыбой». Чтобы улучшить свою дикцию, Мирей начала брать уроки по изучению языка, занималась дыхательной гимнастикой, тренировала походку на каблуках, обучалась правилам поведения в высшем обществе, изучала иностранные языки. Английский язык давался ей особенно нелегко, бо́льших успехов удалось добиться в немецком. Полностью нивелировать свой акцент Мирей так и не смогла. Впоследствии она поведает об этом зрителям в песне J’Ai Gardé L’Accent («Я сохранила акцент»). Спустя годы Старк утверждал, что неслыханный успех Мирей вряд ли был чудом — просто она любила и умела работать.
