J |
Simple Sister: the repeated sound in the long central development section of this track is generated by mechanically-strummed instruments also used by McCartney on the Imagine album |
K |
Broken Barricades: recorded in Barbados : hence the name |
L |
Memorial Drive: the initials 'MD' of this song make the number '1500' in Roman numerals, and that is the speed of the click-track in beats per millisecond |
M |
Luskus Delph: the title is a corruption of 'Los Ques del P.H.', the name given to a selection box of quality sugared almonds available in the bazaars of Rio de Janeiro in the mid-70s |
N |
Power Failure: the voice that bellows 'Rubbish' after the drum solo may also be heard after The Worm and the Tree if you leave the Something Magic CD to play long enough after the music has finished |
O |
Song for a Dreamer: Trower and Reid synchronistically came up with the idea of this 'Hendrixy' tribute while writing in separate rooms |
P |
Playmate of the Mouth: this is name of a well-known pornographic magazine in Saudi Arabia in which plaster-casts of British rock musicians were frequently featured. |
Q |
Poor Mohammed: 'Mohammed' was the name of Guy Stephens's pedigree mongoose, which was also 'poor' because he fed it on new-mown sand |
Clue of the day is here, though we leave you to work out for yourself which of the above questions it relates to |
