“Still There’ll Be More”: there can be no better title for a massive – 5 CDs and 3 DVDs – box set that Esoteric Recordings are to issue on March 23rd to mark, a bit belatedly (the work on it has taken six months) PROCOL HARUM‘s 50th anniversary. Subtitled “An Anthology 1967-2017” and featuring tracks from all the band’s records, the collection may be light on rarities than 2009’s "All This And More..." as the first three discs of the forthcoming treasure chest are but a compilation of album tracks and an occasional single, yet the 1973 and 1976 concerts that take the rest of the CDs, and video material on the DVDs – some having seen the light of day unauthorized, and some dug out of archives – are priceless. Accompanied with a 68-page book and reproduction of a poster, and with cover artwork taking the “Novum” drawing into a new world, it’s a must-have thing.
The box will be made available in limited quantity, and is to look like this:
