OK – just for fun… Here’s a wee quiz I put together while at home, feeling poorly! (Better now, tho’) Here’s some small photo sections taken from my Tull vinyl collection (all UK releases, bought at, or soon after actual release date). Just PM me the title, whether each shot is from front or back of cover, or centrefold, or even inner sleeve - I may have been sneaky! Sneakier still, there might be a single/EP cover – I never promised they were all album covers! Please don’t post your answers on the board, here. That’d spoil it for those that don’t check in straight away; just PM me your efforts - thanks. Then, after a wee while, when the replies run cold, I’ll post the answers and give a heads-up as to who was quickest, most accurate etc… I’ll even get m’ Lady Pamela to randomly select a ‘winner’ from the best replies – and send out a wee ‘prize’ – how’s that sound? Hope it’s easy and doesn’t drive you menTull! All the best – HFA Sixteen to come – here’s the first four… 1. 2. 3. 4.

I'll have a go at this, either today or tomorrow. Now where did I put all my vinyl albums?

Hmmm. Not too many takers up to now. Have I been too hard on you? Go on, have a go... You might not need All the answers! Perhaps I can tempt you with a shiny, new disc to the best entry?

Our postman knocked on the front door yesterday - "I have a small package for somebody at this address called Broadsword". "Oh thank you kind sir, it's from the nice man called HipFlaskAndy". "WTF are you talking about?". "Never mind". He went away shaking his head in disbelief.
Wow, what a CD, full of good stuff, what a talented lot there is on this forum.

Hi chaps! - Just to clear up the loose ends. To be honest, the 'easiest' solution to having to 'come up with a prize' - and the cheapest, as regards postage - was to offload some of m' back catalogue! Lady Pamela here is constantly on my case because of the stack of boxes in our hall! Bless! The two runners-up got m' wee band's first studio CD - from about seven years ago - and the outright winner got the more recent (follow-up) one. I'm glad you are both pleased with our first effort. Corner-of-the-Sphere won't get his prize for a while yet - he lives in Oz! Let's hope he approves of it with the same enthusiam as you chaps! Cheerio!
