Christmas Conundrums 2002

Question of the Day : 4 January 2003

Over the twelve days of Christmas we are setting quiz questions about the following Procolesque albums (only): Procol Harum 1967, Shine on Brightly, A Salty Dog, Home, Broken Barricades, Live at Edmonton, Grand Hotel, Exotic Birds and Fruit, Procol's Ninth, Something Magic, The Prodigal Stranger, The Long Goodbye (The Symphonic Music), and The Well's on Fire.

Carefully read and answer the questions below. The answer is always the name of a Procol album as listed above. If you get them right you will find that the answers are all different, except one. To put it another way, just two of the answers will be the same, and that's the Album of the Day. To win, just write down the Album of the Day from each instalment, and on the last day we shall tell you what to do with them, in order to win your choice from the list of Fab Prizes.

Preamble over: here are today's nine questions, too easy to need much in the way of clues! (To find previous questions, look here) And don't forget the BtP search-engine

5	A track from this album was given an unexpected new angle by a duo calling themselves The Procolaimers, on Lost in the Looking-Glass, the excellent studio-recorded 40-track homage to Procol from the Palers' Project. Clue here
