![]() A lower court had ruled in Fishers favour in 2006, granting him co-writing credits and a share of the royalties. A higher court partly overturned the ruling in 2008, giving Fisher co-writing credit but no money. The Court of Appeal had previously held that Fisher had waited too long to bring his claim to court. The House of Lords disagreed, stating there was no time limitation for such claims. Lord David Neuberger of Abbotsburys opinion stated: Fishers subsequent contribution was significant, and, especially the introductory eight bars, an important factor in the works success. He added that this was unusual as 99 out of 100 of the Procol Harum songs, back then, were written the words first, and then were set to music. Though the album was recorded on multitrack, it was issued as mono -only in the UK, and in mono and rechannelled stereo in the US. Despite extensive searching, the original multitrack tapes have not been located and thus a stereo mix of the original ten tracks may never be possible. Several alternate takes, however, have been mixed into stereo and are available on CD. As recently as 2004, the original single, mixed to stereo, has appeared on a Dick Bartley Presents: Classic Oldies compilation on Eric Records. The artwork by Dickinson, the then-girlfriend, and subsequently wife of Keith Reid was heavily influenced by the style of the late-victorian illustrator Aubrey Beardsley 4. Two of the significant reissues are Procol Harum.Plus, a 1998 CD compilation on the Westside label including all the songs from both the Deram and Regal Zonophone release, plus Homburg (the groups second single) and nine additional tracks from the period; and a monaural audiophile vinyl LP edition released in 2003 by Classic Records, with yet a different track order, including Homburg as the opening track and without A Whiter Shade of Pale or Good Captain Clack. The set includes bonus singles of the original monaural and alternate stereo versions of A Whiter Shade of Pale. A 2009 remaster by Salvo Records, using the original mono masters, was released, with bonus tracks including the singles A Whiter Shade of Pale, Homburg, B-sides and alternate stereo takes. A 2015 remaster by Cherry Red Records expands the album into a 2-CD set. All tracks are written by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, except as noted. Side A No. Title Length 1. Conquistador 2:42 2.
