Not sure when I bought this. It&#8217;s a pretty good collection , offering 20 songs from their first nine albums covering the years 1967-1975. It has their two big top 40 hits &#8220;Whiter Shade Of Pale&#8221; ,with Matthew Fisher&#8217;s distinctive organ,and &#8220;Conquistador&#8221;,recorded live with a symphony orchestra. Also there are songs I remember hearing on FM raio back in the 70&#8217;s &#8220;Homburg&#8221;,&#8221;A Salty Dog&#8221;,&#8221;Grand Hotel&#8221; and &#8220;Pandora&#8217;s Box&#8221;. Some of the songs I like best are &#8220;The Devil Came From Kansas&#8221;,&#8221;Shine On Brightly&#8221;,&#8221;Toujours L&#8217;Amour&#8221; and the three taken from the Broken Barricades album,the title track,&#8221;Power Failure&#8221; and &#8220;Simple Sister&#8221;. The record focuses on their more mellow piano driven songs. I would have liked it to include more of their more rocking songs with Robin Trowers guitar like &#8220;Whiskey Train&#8221; &#8220;Still There&#8217;ll Be More&#8221; or &#8220;Memorial Drive&#8221; Also missing is their 60&#8217;s European hit &#8220;Kaleidescope&#8221; and their epic &#8220;In Hell &#8216;Twas In I&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yet another one from The Collector Series this 1985 release is a German import.
