- Milestone Celebration: Novum, released in 2017, commemorates the band's 50th anniversary.
- One-Hit Wonder: Sort of. While they did get several singles onto the UK singles charts, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" utterly overshadowed all the rest of them. "Conquistador" did well in the US, and their album sales made up for any lack of sustained success on the pop charts.

- What Could Have Been: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" was originally conceived of as a 10 minute Epic Rocking piece - four verses of lyrics were written, but two of them fell by the wayside by the time they were recording it, with the studio version featuring what were originally just the first and last verses. The extended version has been performed live.
