Originally released on Procol’s second album SHINE ON BRIGHTLY (1968), "In Held 'Twas In I" saw it's orchestrated coming out on the highly successful LIVE WITH THE EDMONTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA album (1972).

I was in doubt to share this recording, because of poor filming and shaky pictures (esp. in the first part), but the orchestral performance of the work is hard to find on YT,
so here it is in full length. For easier access to the five segments :

Glimpses Of Nirvana 0:00
'Twas Teatime At The Circus 5:03
In The Autumn Of My Madness 6:35
Look To Your Soul 11:51
Grand Finale 15:15
