Stakeout (Solution)
by Dan Gulotta
Identify the album covers. Each album has the same name as a song that didn't make it onto the the album.
Artist | Album | Album where song first appeared |
Captain Beefheart | Safe as Milk | Strictly Personal |
Elvis Costello | Almost Blue | Imperial Bedroom |
Emerson Lake and Palmer | Brain Salad Surgery | Works Volume Two |
Gentle Giant | The Power and the Glory | Giant Steps |
Led Zeppelin | Houses of the Holy | Physical Graffiti |
Queen | Sheer Heart Attack | News of the World |
The Who | The Kids are Alright | My Generation |
Observe that each album cover has been cut into equally sized pieces, and the number of pieces (including ones that are missing from the collage) is equal to the length of the album where the song appeared. Write the letters on the album covers like this:
G | I | A | N | T |
S | T | E | P | S |
Now find where the letters go on the collage. They spell out PLURAL OF WHAT MINNEAR PLAYS IN SO SINCERE INTRO. The answer is CELLOS.
