Procol's Ninth

1. 본문

• Procol's Ninth* is the eighth studio album by the British progressive rock band Procol Harum, or the ninth album if the live album is included. It was released in August 1975.

The album was produced by the songwriting duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It presented a different style compared to the previous album, showcasing a starker sound in contrast to Chris Thomas's more elaborate productions. According to guitarist Mick Grabham, Leiber and Stoller put more emphasis on "the structure of the songs" rather than the production sound.

The original tracklist of *Procol's Ninth* is as follows:

1. "Pandora's Box"

2. "Fool's Gold"

3. "Taking the Time"

4. "The Unquiet Zone"

5. "The Final Thrust"

6. "I Keep Forgetting" (Leiber/Stoller)

7. "Without a Doubt"

8. "The Piper's Tune"

9. "Typewriter Torment"

10. "Eight Days a Week" (Lennon/McCartney)

The album is notable for including two cover songs: "I Keep Forgetting" by Leiber and Stoller, and "Eight Days a Week" by Lennon and McCartney. "Pandora's Box" was a hit single in the UK.
