The album reached No. 7 in Canada and was very successful on the Billboard Top 200, peaking at No. 5. It is the band's best-selling album, certified Gold by the RIAA. Some LP copies of the album also have \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLook to Your Soul\u003c\/span\u003e credited as \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Know If I'd Been Wiser.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eConquistador\u003c\/span\u003e is a song by Procol Harum. Written by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, it originally appeared on the band's 1967 self-titled debut album. It is one of the band's most famous and popular songs and their third Top 40 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (after 1967's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Whiter Shade of Pale\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHomburg\u003c\/span\u003e), peaking at No. 16. The narrator of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eConquistador\u003c\/span\u003e addresses the body of a dead conquistador lying on a beach, no doubt partially embedded in the sand and obviously not long after death or the corpse would not attract a vulture, nor would the \"stallion\" still be nearby. He at first jeers at the irony of the failure of the Conquistador's imagined mission, and the desolation of the scene and his corpse, but on reflection regrets his mockery and offers pity for the lonely and futile fate of the conquistador, \"You did not conquer, only die.\" The refrain consists of the morose couplet: And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind with which the selection closes just before its instrumental trumpet coda, which gives it a mariachi-esque but mournful sound. The trumpet solo is played by principal trumpet Ed Nixon. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Salty Dog\u003c\/span\u003e is a song written by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, it was released as the lead single off the band's 1969 album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Salty Dog.\u003c\/span\u003e Reid's lyrics describe sailors crossing the unknown seas. The string arrangement recalls Frédéric Chopin. The song is reportedly one of Reid's favorites. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Salty Dog\u003c\/span\u003e peaked at No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793764544793,"sku":"SP-4335","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-procol_harum-live_in_concert-05_280457ce-074d-450d-9228-978890600d10.jpg?v=1783554617","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sp-4335","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
