Procol Harum - Why Name It That?

    The silliest claim was from an old friend who thought it meant, "Without women"; in other words, 'men only'. I think he was confusing 'harum' with 'harem' and botched 'procul' to mean 'without' in the sense of 'lacking' whereas, it meant 'without' in the sense of 'outside' or 'beyond' as in 'There is a green hill far away without a city wall'. He used to call stag nights, 'procul harum noctes'. I tentatively told him he was mistaken, but he wouldn't have it. There ought to be a punishment for Latin abuse. :P

    Actually Matthew Fisher produced A Salty Dog and left the group after that album. Not the Shine On Brightly album, as stated in the above article.

      You are right. We stand corrected - and the post stands corrected too. Thanks for the comment.
