We've talked many times of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" but the B side of the 45 (which is in my hand just now) is fabulous
when backed with full orchestra and choir.....

"A Salty Dog".....

The B-side of AWSOP was actually 'Lime Street Blues' if memory serves me.

Reportedly, when Gary Brooker first played "A Salty Dog" at the piano for B.J. Wilson, a sunbeam illumined Wilson's face and he told Brooker he thought it was the most beautiful song he had ever heard....wiki.

Incidentally, "Lime Street Blues" won't be playing on the radio anytime soon, as the lyric includes the rather quaint observation "crazy as a c**n".

I like Pandora's Box. No surprise there.
