I was 19 and in London visiting from Canada in Aug. '67 when I first heard this song. Some group in a Soho club was covering it. Didn't think too much of it until the next day I heard P.H.'s original version on the radio. Blew me away. Bought the single when I got home in Sept. It's been with me ever since. As a baby boomer, raised on rock throughout the 60's and 70's l thank my lucky stars that l grew up during this most memorable of music times. I'd love to be 19 again, but have to admit that l'm so glad l lived it. And after all these years this is the first time l've heard all 4 verses. Uploading it to my MP3. Wilf Malette

This is from the famed "Redhill" Procol 30th anniversary concert, 1997. That is indeed Matthew Fisher on the organ...nobody has ever played the organ part on this song with the finesse he brings to it. Pure magic. And Brooker's singing is better here, 30 years later, than it is on the original recording.

I'm only 18, but I know the legend that grew out of my home city of Edmonton, of the first record to incorporate an orchestra with rock music. Although I was too young to see the concert that made history, the one concert that was so good Procol Harum had to perform it twice to satisfy the audience, my dad did see it. Says he remembers it like it was yesterday. He can even point out his exact cheers. It's crazy how rocking a world we live in and we almost never realize it. Like most, this is the first time I ever heard the full version. Heard ABOUT it, and read the lyrics, but never actually heard it. One of my favourite songs, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

Thank Ye kindly for this wonderful post. As a child of the 60's.....I've heard this many times and didn't know it had four verses. I suppose back in my day all songs had some particular meaning. It's a dying art and that's a shame! Again, THANK YE KINDLY!

I was watching "Breaking the Waves" with Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgård. This piece was one of the chapter headings and it has gone through my head ever since. The organ is so haunting, yet peaceful. I remember when the song came out, like Wilf Malette earlier, I was part of the same generation. And like Wilf, until now, I'd never heard all the verses. Thank you for uploading this.

When I hear this song, I just stop, sit down and ride with the lyrics.

The ancient ruins of the House of Vestal Virgins are in the Roman Forum. The Vestal Virgins were virgin girls/women who served there from age 12 through 40. They tended and kept the eternal fire burning.

This song is about " human trafficking ". You are closer than anyone else has been.

A fav since being a small child and hearing this while riding in the backseat of my parents brown Malibu car with my sister on the way to Nassau Lake in the 518 of NYS to get a burger and ice cream from Jeans Hamburger stand on a summer night sometime in the early 70's. Rest peacefully Brooker. Love you always!!
