Jethro Tull Thick As A Brick Crossword

[Barks]

When Thick as a Brick came out in 1972 it was packaged in a elaborate sleeve that unfolded into a spoof local newspaper, the St Cleve Chronicle, which contained a crossword that seems to be unsolvable

I've read elsewhere that the answers are all mildly obscene or scatalogical but does anyone know if it could be cracked?

TIA

[Calibax]

I don't know but the crossword is here if anyone wants to try.

If you click on the crossword itself you get a readable grid - maybe you can try and crack it.

6 across is snot and 35 across is anus which makes me suspect the answers may be unsuitable for a wholesome site like this

And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away. I win.

Gawd! 40+ years! :-)

[Barks]

Sandy Roe, I wondered if 8d was "crapt" fitting "parrot" as Long John Silvers pet

[Barks]

I meant to add that I am laughing at An Odorous Breeze = Fart; I have been looking at this off and on for over 30 years and didn't get it
