January 1974. Only Robin Trower album ever owned was Bridge of Sighs. That was my first memory of Trower for many years.

Only Robin Trower album ever owned was Bridge of Sighs.

Thanks to the internet learned that Trower was in Procol Harum. First concert ever was Procol Harum opening for The Doors at Winterland and also saw Procol Harum headlining at Fillmore West in late 60s when still in high school.

Money from summer job in 1969 bought two Heath Kits (an amp and a FM receiver) mail order and KHL speakers and a Garrard turntable at Pacific Stereo on Shattuck in Berkeley plus 5 records that included the Procol Harum album with A Whiter Shade of Pale.
