Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1970 albumHOME by PROCOL HARUM.

Released in June 1970, the record followed on from the huge international success of the band’s debut single “A Whiter Shade of Pale”and the superb albums PROCOL HARUM, SHINE ON BRIGHTLY and A SALTY DOG. Hailed by many fans as one of the finestalbums released by the band, HOME saw the exquisite song writing of Gary Brooker and Keith Reid reach new heights on pieces such as “The Dead Man’s Dream”, the epic “Whaling Stories”, “About to Die” and more.

Produced by Chris Thomas, the album captured a new line-up of the band featuring Gary Brooker (voice, piano), Chris Copping (bass guitar, organ), Robin Trower (lead guitar), and B.J. Wilson (drums).

Newly re-mastered from the original tapes, this Deluxe edition of “Home” has been expanded to include 11 bonus tracks (3 previously unreleased) over two CDs, including rare tracks, alternate session takes and 2 previously unreleased BBC Radio session tracks from May 1970. This expanded deluxe edition of “Home” also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay by Procol Harum biographer Henry Scott-Irvine.
