- There is actually a rarely used (because few know about it) infobox parameter for alternate album covers, see for example Time and a Word and Blind Faith (Blind Faith album). FunkMonk (talk) 10:27, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- Right, and that's what was there before, but it created what was IMO an unsightly column, and since the US cover is discussed in great detail in the album cover section, I thought it would be nice to have it there. Having the US cover further down in the article also staggers the images, which were otherwise clumped at the top. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- That was what I was thinking, and it's up to you. But in a sense, the US cover is as "valid" as the UK one, which would warrant appearing there, but not important.
- How about a sample from a single?
- In the lead, it could be nice with a year for when the "500 greatest" ratings were published.
- The latest CD versions (maybe all?) have all the songs from both the UK and US versions, shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere? Perhaps under tracklisting?
- I'd think other details about the CD version, like first release, length, etc., would warrant mention as well.
- "Impressed with Hendrix's version of the song" What version? Did he record a demo, or did he just play for him?
- Clarified? GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- There is nothing about background and recording in the lead, though this is the bulk of the article. Or cover and music/lyrics, for that matter. Yet the lead should be a summary of the entire article.
- Great point. I expanded the lead. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- If room becomes and issue in the lead, I'd cut out one (orboth) of the quotes instead. The Rolling Stones quote is particularly hard to read, because it is snipped, but they both have this problem.
- The first line of the lead seems like it should be merged with the one below. It is a bit weird hanging alone as it does. For example "and launched him as a new international star" would fit better after "The album was a critical and commercial success,".
- "The fifth and final song recorded at CBS was "Red House".[36] Omitted from the American version of the album, the track would not see an official release in US until the 1969 compilation, Smash Hits.[36] An unusual feature of the recording is that it does not contain a bass guitar track; Redding instead played rhythm guitar with his equalization set strongly in favor of bass tones.[37] It is the only original twelve-bar blues written by Hendrix.[38]" The recording section doesn't go that much into detail about such aspects of other songs, maybe much of this belongs under music? There may be other examples of this (too much musical detail under recording).
- "the replication of the which caused Mitchell some consternation" What?
- Clarified? GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Egan described the track as "a psychedelic extravaganza" He has only been mentiond once long before this point, perhaps mention he is an author again? Not sure, I was confused when I got to that point.
- Should The Breakaways be mentioned under personnel?
- "number fifteen on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time." This is not in the article, only the lead. Everything should be in the article as well.
- Its in Reception and legacy. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- "On December 13, 1966, the band made their television debut, on Britain's Ready Steady Go!" This note seems significant enough to go in the article, especially since other TV performances are mentioned as well.
- The infobox image may need a new fair use template, the one used is ancient (2006).
- "Mitchell's exceptional drumming" Loaded.
- ""Third Stone from the Sun" is about..." Since there are no lyrics, could the article explain where the supposed story comes from?
- Nice, apart from two or so issues I've expanded upon, all looks good.FunkMonk (talk) 22:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
