Procol Harum: The title track is a poignant and emotive song….

Esoteric Recordings is a label that special focus on old and established bands and this time its Procol Harum and their new EP Missing Persons (Alive Forever) on May 7th.

The legendary band states, «Completed during lockdown conditions imposed by the outbreak of the COVID 19 virus, the EP title track is a poignant and emotive song in the finest musical tradition of Procol Harum». The track War Is Not Healthy is also a fine observation of war and its impact on humanity.

Procol Harum released their most recent album, Novum, in 2017, through Eagle Rock. Plans for a 2020 show with full orchestra at London’s Palladium were put in hold due the Coronavirus pandemic.

Alan Cartwright, bass player with the band from 1971-1977 sadly died earlier this month.

With the lyrical subject matter of both songs being particularly apt for the times we live in, this new music from Procol Harum is timely.

Track Listing:

1. Missing Persons (Alive Forever)
2. War Is Not Healthy
3. Missing Persons (Alive Forever) (Edited version)
