Double Listing
#4 (Procol Harum) is the same album as #8 (A Whiter Shade Of Pale) per Acclaimed Music.
Actually the album "Procol Harum" did not include the track "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", when it was later released in the US the track was added and the album's title changed. So the two albums "Procol Harum" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" are in fact different.
It is likely however that the charts listed have confused the two, so we've made the change you suggested and added a note to the page.
