BOS4 Procol Harum, "Conquistador", one of the unlikelier hit singles of the era.  VHM Edmondton Symphony Orch.
So, the studio version was earlier, right?
I'm assuming -- I don't think I've ever heard the studio version.

Yeah, I see it's on the '67 first LP.

isn´t this the looking glass, too?


Proven By Science: Every music fan thinks King Harvest and the Looking Glass are one and the same.  Including me, for several years.  Those are two of my all-time faves, and for my money this is the set of the week.  Will make every effort to catch the replay.

PS: Why was "Conquistador" becoming a belated hit in '72 any more surprising than "Nights in White Satin" doing the same?  Just curious.

PPS: 1972 is probably my 4th-favorite year for music, following 1975, 1967, and 1968.

surprising not in its belatedness, but in its nature: a live recording melding rock with a Symphony Orch.,  "Live" hit singles being rare in any form. I don't recall the studio version having been a single, or having garnered any major airplay.  NIWS, on the other hand was an FM staple, more popular, perhaps, in '72 than upon orig release.  So re-releasing it was not that surprising.

It's not surprising, the live version got a lot of airplay with the symphony orchestra when it came out.  It was a separate thing from the original.

The world is a ghetto. No shit, Sherlock!

ah, Looking Glass.  Brandy -- a fine girl, but not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. I mean, she's in love with a sailor, fer chrissakes.

BOS Alice! He can't even think of a word that rhymes!


Out-of-left-field BOS vote from me.  For whatever reason, the song sounded so much better on a Thursday night when I have a rare Friday night off. *takes gulp of beer*

Oh, wait, I take that back, I just heard the electric-piano kickoff to "Dancing in the Moonlight," one of my 10 favorite *moments* in a song of all time.  (A list I haven't made yet, but perhaps should.)
