| An unusual rock memoir, now available in a revised and expanded edition, from the globe-trotting geographer who weaves a hypnotic tale of his quest for music, occasionally laced with his poignant search for a lost first love. George Lovell's prose style infectiously conveys the excitement and enduring reward of being a Procol Harum fan; amusing insights, personal contacts, lots of humanity, and a prose style shot-through with wittily-deployed quotations from Keith Reid lyrics. The book's contents are as follows: Preface: Rambling On 1 The Opening Act 2 A Prodigal Return 3 Bhoona with Brooker 4 Millennial Fireworks 5 Croydon Reprised 6 An East Coast Pilgrimage 7 A West Coast Sojourn 8 Summer in the Soul Epilogue: A Souvenir of London There is also an appendix ('Lofty Peaks') charting the twenty-seven concerts on which the memoir is based. c.
