As Strong as Samson (When You're Being Held To Ransom) / The Unquiet Zone
Germany: Chrysalis, re-titled for the hard of hearing!

 

The above sleeve for Samson features Dave Ball, who didn't play on it. Dave Ball says, 'I think the [Samson] is from Central Park shoot.'

But Carol Bellantoni adds: 'The interior shot for Strong As Samson / Unquiet Zone was taken at the Royal Drury Lane in May 1972. The exterior shot for Grand Hotel / Robert's Box (Germany, 1973) was also taken at that session. I remember going to that photo session with Procol. It was my first trip to London and Alan Cartwright had phoned me up and invited me along (he said it might make a change from the 'usual tourist things' I was doing). One of the other things I remember about that day was that BJ had bought the smart-looking brown shirt at 'Take 6' that morning (you can see the 'new shirt' creases in it if you look carefully).
