As we reported before, there’s a new series of PROCOL HARUM‘s reissues on the horizon, with the band’s first two albums to be out on June 29th, and their third and fourth ones to follow on, as it turned out, July 31st. These also will be made available as single discs, with bonus tracks, and 2CD deluxe editions with the bonuses carried over onto the second platter where a plethora of other rarities are to appear, including unreleased material and live recordings – made onstage and in BBC studios.
