Summary: Valuable, But Flawed
Review: Any Procol Harum fan will want this book for the wealth of information it gathers, especially about the band's early days. Johansen's musical insight, however, is limited and inconsistent, and he's almost painfully clueless about what Keith Reid's words -- the band's main attraction, of course -- are about (e.g., he doesn't seem aware that the narrator of "Crucifiction Lane" is Jesus, which, ahem, rather changes the meaning of the song, doesn't it?). And fans should check out procolharum.com for some commentary about the book's histotical accuracy.
