Yes it was, nice thing about lifting from the powdered wig set is that you don't have to pay royalties.

Very popular with the prog set, when you think about it.

I have heard only the Transatlantic version of "In Held Twas I" (what does that mean??) and hasn't surprised me much. Is it very different to the original song?

BTW, I need to check Procol Harum out.

According to the band, In Held Twas In I means nothing.  It was random words from the various sections of the song.
 
On a side note, what are the best CD versions of these?  Are they the Repertoire releases?  Some other label?  I really need to replace my 40 year old vinyl.
 
And I seem to remember that the piano break in Walpurgis is a Bach Two-Part Invention.

I think that the band is screwing us over a bit if they say it has no meaning; I think that there's something there, it just happens to be slightly scattershot and purely tongue-in-cheek (the song I mean, the title IS just an anagram of sorts).
 
As for the Procolers, of course you have to check 'em out. I still believe that they're the most underrated band ever. And, in a pure act of shameless self promotion, I've just reviewed this album of theirs (as well as the debut (both are classics, by the by), but that's older. More informative band-wise though).
