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.

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».

Full title - Golden Age of American Rock 'N' Roll Volume 10. The tenth & final volume in Ace Records' longest-running & most prestigious series. 30 tracks, mastered from the finest sources available. Artists include the Rinky-Dinks feat. Bobby Darin, the Coasters, the Bobbettes, Ricky Nelson, the Chords, Roy Orbison & many more.

The 11th volume of this venerated series is split about half between out-and-out classics from rock & roll's first decade and considerably lesser-known (and usually much lower-charting) items from the same period. The benefit of this approach is that it makes available quite a few tracks that rarely get reissued, or at least rarely anthologized on all-purpose rock & roll oldies collections, while putting in enough familiar staples to avoid being tagged as a rarities collection. The drawback, of course, is that those relatively little-known singles -- all Top 100 Billboard hits to some degree or another, though seldom played on oldies stations today -- simply aren't nearly as good or memorable as the big hits with which they share space on this CD.

For many years, Original Sound's Oldies but Goodies series was acknowledged as the best source for catching up on the many great early rock & roll hits by artists who had only one (or two, or three, or even a few more) classics to offer. Ace's Golden Age of American Rock'n'Roll series, however, has surpassed Oldies but Goodies as the series of choice in the CD age. Even at an import price, they offer better value (with 30 songs each!); they use the best possible available source tapes for remastering; they also offer lengthy, intelligent liner notes and some photos, where Original Sound have historically offered none.
