Home is Procol Harum's fourth album, released in 1970. Organist Matthew Fisher and bassist David Knights had left and Chris Copping joined. That brought the group almost back to being the Paramounts of old, and it was meant to bring the R&B back into the sound.

The first recordings in the autumn of 1969 at Trident Studios in London, led by Fisher, were rejected because the band was not satisfied with the sound and the playing. In February 1970 the group began again at Abbey Road with producer Chris Thomas. The cover is a parody of a British snakes and ladders game, with the band members themselves as pieces. The album was released in June 1970, reached number 34 in the United States and number 6 in Denmark. It was preceded by the single Whisky Train, written by Robin Trower with lyricist Keith Reid.
