 | | This wasn't as disastrous as would have been, say, the departure of Brooker or Reid, but it still had a significant impact on the band, as Fisher's organ was one of the main pillars on which laid the unique sound of the band. |
 | | In addition, bassist Dave Knights took off, so the band decided to kill two birds with one stone, and picked up one Chris Copping (who was actually a member back when the band was known as The Paramounts) to fill both the organ and bass duties. |
 | | The important thing to note, though, is that (at least here), Copping is a bassist first and an organist second, and that means that the unique setup of the original Procol evolved, in essence, into a "standard" rock setup (ie guitar drums bass keyboard). |
