REVIEW
Album "The Long Goodbye" v podstatě není deskou Procol Harum - je však většinou řazena do diskografie kapely. Jde spíše o sólovku Gary Brookera se symfonickým orchestrem a několika hosty prezentujících "podstatné" skladby skupiny. Tvorba Procol Harum byla vždy s klasickou hudbou spjata, toto je jakési "potvrzení a dokonání činu".
