Exotic Birds and Fruit competition

The Salvo reissues giveaway, November 2009


The nice people at Salvo Records sent BtP this excellent album to give away. As with all BtP's competitions, you simply needed to read and enact a simple instruction, and send us a message ... and this handsome recording could have been yours! You clicked on the image to see what tracks were on the album ... that's the info you needed ...

As was our wont, we asked you to listen carefully to some music (of course, the real album sounds much better than our compressed mp3 that follows)

Click here to listen to an mp3 medley of the songs on the album (left). You'll hear that some tracks get a long excerpt, some a short one. There are eleven tracks on the CD and the medley excerpts only ten, so your task is simply to send us the last word of the title of the missing song.

Click here to send us the last word of the title of the missing song in our medley representing this Salvo re-issue album. The competition ends at 23:59 GMT on Tuesday 10 November.

If your answer is correct we'll put your name in a hat, and conduct the draw during Wednesday 11 November.

The first name out of the hat wins Exotic Birds and Fruit ! Good luck!

The tracks you heard were excerpts from Drunk Again, New Lamps for Old, M R Monde, As Strong as Samson (normal version), Fresh Fruit, Butterfly Boys, The Thin End of the Wedge, The Idol, As Strong as Samson (Db mix) and Beyond the Pale. Missing, therefore, was the opener, Nothing But the Truth, and the last word of the title was 'Truth' ... which was the answer we were looking for.

The lucky winner was Claudio Bonvecchio ... congratulations to many, many rival contenders who were simply unlucky in the hat. There were only two wrong answers ... 'Pale' and (bizarrely, since it's not the last word of any title) 'Lamp'.
Claudio, send us your geographical address and this fine Salvo/Procol release will soon be on its way to you.
