Shine On Brightly is the second studio album by Procol Harum. Released in 1968 after the success of their debut album, it was influential in the development of progressive rock by breaking pop and rock music standards with the 17-minute epic In Held Twas in I , which marked the beginning of the lengthy progressive rock suites that would occur later in the 1970s. The epic s title is an acrostic, putting the first word of each movement s lyrics into it as shown:
In Glimpses of Nirvana , part 1
Held Glimpses of Nirvana , part 2
Twas Twas Teatime at the Circus
In In the Autumn of My Madness
I Look to Your Soul
In addition, progressive rock band Transatlantic covered this song on their album SMPT:e. Their version extends Glimpses of Nirvana by cutting out Twas Teatime at the Circus .
The original British and North American versions of the opening two tracks Quite Rightly So and Shine on Brightly are different versions IN ADDITION, THE TWO RELEASES USE RADICALLY DIFFERENT COVERS .

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The record comes in the original Made in Great Britain stock inner sleeve.
c The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
COVER THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER :
THE COVER IS NEAR MINT
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams nothing significant
- Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY
