Tonight's topic is  
The naming of Procol Harum's album, released in MMXVII
 
The answer is  
Correct!
 

Choose the question below that is most applicable to the answer above. Make a note of the Question Number (eg Q01g)
 

Q01a
 		  


Apparently the title Novum was chosen because the album was recorded in Novumber
 
Q01b  


Arguably the title Nivum was chosen because it’s Latin for ‘of the snows’, relating to an undercurrent of interest in penguins expressed in so many of the songs
 
Q01c  


Clearly the title Novum was chosen because nobody in the band liked the working title, which was ‘Unvom’
 
Q01d  


It’s widely agreed that the title Novum was chosen because it’s an acronym (initial letters of ‘New Or Virtually Unrecognised Memories')
 
Q01e  


Self-evidently the title Novum was chosen because it had been a long time hatching, and ‘ovum’ is the Latin word for ‘egg’
 
Q01f  


The title Novum was chosen because the band’s arms, when they relax, naturally adopt positions that spell out ‘NOVUM’ in semaphore
 
Q01g  


Undoubtedly Novum was the title chosen, because it’s Latin for ‘new’, and it marks a new approach for the band
 
Q01h  
We understand that Navem was chosen as the title because it’s Latin for ‘to the ship’, and many of the band’s songs have ships in them, some even in the titles
