Procol Harum moved from baroque pop to progressive rock as the 60s turned into the 70s, which was the normal career progression.

They did many other good tracks over a decade or so, though most singles subsequent to 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' charted in low positions or not at all.

They had a surprise return to the UK top 20 in 1975 with 'Pandora's Box', which like AWSOP was composed by Gary and lyricist Keith Reid.
