Something Magic 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! Click on the image to see what tracks are on the album ... that's the info you need ...

As was our wont, we were asking 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 songs from the album (left). Eleven Procol Harum tracks appear on the album (three of them are parts of The Worm and the Tree) but only ten excerpts appear in our medley. Your task is simply to send us the last word of the title of the missing Procol Harum track.

Click here to send us the last word of the title of the missing Procol track in our medley representing this Salvo re-issue album. The competition ended at 23:59 GMT on Sunday 22 November.

If your answer was correct we put your name in a hat, and conducted the draw during Monday 23 November.

The tracks you heard were excerpts from Skating on Thin Ice, This Old Dog, The Mark of the Claw, The Worm and the Tree (part one), Strangers in Space, The Worm and the Tree (part three), Something Magic, Backgammon, You'd Better Wait and The Worm and the Tree (part two). Missing, therefore, was Wizard Man, and the last word of the title was 'Man' ... which was the answer we were looking for.

The lucky winner was Glenn Vallen in Australia: congratulations to all the other people who got it right (the only rival answer was 'go', which was puzzling). Glenn, send us your geographical address and this fine Salvo/Procol release will soon be on its way to you.
