The New Ducati Scrambler on Tour in UK Ducati Dealerships

Next Gen Freedom: the new Ducati Scrambler on tour in UK Ducati dealerships. The Next Gen Freedom Ducati Scrambler arrives on tour at Ducati Stores. From 29 March until 5 May it will be possible to see the new Ducati Scrambler range, presented as the seventh episode of Ducati World Première 2023, live. Icon, Full Throttle and Nightshift will be the protagonists of a 16-stop tour that will touch a selection of UK dealers after their debut at Motorcycle Live last November. The bikes will be on display and demo rides can be booked on site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e7g1fl9_kY The new Ducati Scrambler is the perfect choice for those who want a motorcycle with a unique and recognisable style, dynamic and fun, accessible and safe for everyday use. A motorbike designed for those who seek freedom and wish to share their style and way of being with others. The second generation confirms the simplicity and authenticity that have always represented essential values for all Ducati Scrambler enthusiasts. Air-cooled Desmodue twin-cylinder engine, trellis frame, wide handlebars, low centre of gravity and riding fun are enhanced by advanced electronics and a more modern styling. The result of this recipe are three Ducati Scrambler models: Icon, Full Throttle and Nightshift. Three motorbikes with different styling, united by a relaxed riding position and low weight, to offer enthusiasts of all experience and abilities great riding pleasure, both in the city and on out-of-town trips. The customisation concept, which has always been a distinguishing feature of the Ducati Scrambler, goes even further with this second generation thanks to the new Icon tank. The coloured portion is a cover that can be replaced, as can the mudguards, wheel tags and small front headlight covers. Thus the look of the Ducati Scrambler can be adapted to all tastes with great ease. In fact, the three standard colours ('62 Yellow, Thrilling Black and Ducati Red) are joined by a further six, available as accessory kits, to dress up the new Ducati Scrambler Icon in nine different liveries.

Procol Crash In At No. 11!

Alan Smith, New Musical Express, 27 May 1967

WATCH OUT for Procol Harum. This British group with that beautiful, beautiful record called 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' is going to be one of the chart sensations of the year.

The name Procol Harum, I'm told, is Latin for "Beyond these things," and without doubt it fits a sound and style far beyond anything else in the Top 30. Certainly record buyers have been flooding into the shops for 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' in incredible numbers.

Sold out Only yesterday I met one pop fan who told me he went into his local record shop and said: "A copy of—" before he could finish the dealer cut in and said: "—the Procol Harum? No. Sold out."

There are five in the group:— Singer Gary Brooker, from Hackney, who was once a member of the Paramounts... Lead guitarist Ray Royer, who also doubles on violin... Islington-born bass guitarist Dave Knights... Drummer Bobby Harrison, from East Ham; and organist Mathew Charles Fisher from Croydon.

They are recorded by A&R wizard Denny Cordell, who also produces the hits of Georgie Fame and the Move.

Says Denny: "About 18 months ago, when I was recording the Moody Blues, I was approached by a guy called Keith Reid, who showed me the lyrics of 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale'. No music, just lyrics.

"I told him they were beautiful, but I could really do nothing for him unless he had music. So he went away, and I didn't see him until six weeks ago.

"Before I say anything else, the thing about Keith Reid is that he devotes a tremendous amount of his time to writing lyrics and travelling about with the group. He is tremendously involved.

"Anyway, I'd also said to him why didn't he get a group, and six weeks ago he came and played me a demo of the song just accompanied by piano. I liked it. The next thing he had formed this group. And when I heard them perform they just blew my mind.

"We've already recorded the follow-up to 'Whiter Shade Of Pale', and believe me when I say it's just too much. And you know the thing about these guys?—they record in one take. There's no overdubbing or messing about. They just come into the studios and do it on one tape.

"When we recorded 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' I just couldn't believe we'd got it right first time, so I said 'Let's try it one more time.' I was wrong.

"They'd got it 100 per cent straight off. Now I hear it's the fastest selling record by a British group Decca has ever had—it's on Deram—and that 87,000 copies were sold last Friday alone."

Hendrix-like Procol's adviser-lyricist Keith Reid is aged 20 and has been described as a young man with Jimi Hendrix-type hair with dark granny glasses who always sits on music publisher David Platz window-sill. As he has been contracted to David Platz as a songwriter for some time, this may well be a good thing.

According to David, Keith borrowed £100 from him to form the group. Keith then chose Gary Brooker (who also wrote the music for 'Whiter Shade Of Pale') as lead singer, and they spent three weeks at a Buckinghamshire country cottage working the number out. The original demo ran for nine minutes. The name Procol Harum was chosen because it was the name of a prized Siamese cat, and it also meant something and sounded good.

To my ears, 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' sounds good, too—very, very good.
