Official name of the album[edit]

I have moved this page from the article entitled Beck-Ola (Cosa Nostra). Although the name Beck Ola / Cosa Nostra appeared on the back cover of the original vinyl issue, it did not appear on the front, and does not appear on the compact disc reissue on the outside. This album is always referred to in print and in speech as Beck-Ola, and never with the added Cosa Nostra tag. I have also migrated the one other discussion point with the article to below, and repaired all the links to the page to be consistent with the correct name. The page Beck-Ola (Cosa Nostra) now redirects here.PJtP (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Drinking again?[edit]

The song "I've Been Drinking" was released as a B-side in 1968 so this portion makes no sense at all:

It was rumoured that UK versions of the album included a song called "I've Been Drinking Again." However, this song was never released, and is in fact a recording of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come,"[citation needed] with Rod Stewart's vocal hastily overdubbed (the original vocal can still be heard faintly in spots). "I've Been Drinking Again" was finally released in 1990 on Stewart's "Storyteller" boxed set.74.107.138.40 (talk) 05:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've Been Drinking[edit]

Just to clarify the above, the song was released in 1968 as the flip side of the single "Love is Blue", released by Columbia UK and placing #23 on the British charts. It was not on any album for years, but is now widely available on box sets and as a bonus cut on Jeff Beck CDs. As stated above, it was originally a cover version of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come", but they put a new vocal on it and took full songwriting credits.Yardbird666 (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Artist Name[edit]

The article starts with "Beck-Ola is the second album by Jeff Beck". Surely this should be "The Jeff Beck Group", as referenced elsewhere in the article? Mikeholden (talk) 06:14, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
