Removed bit about record covers

I've removed the following statement:

"The first five record covers were collages created by artist Rachel Howard."

- only because it was a total non sequitur, where it was placed in the text. I'll try and stick it back in somewhere as I finish my copy edit, but for the time being wanted to make a record of it here. Jessicapierce 22:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More removed text

Also removed a section of the following, due to being a totally inscrutable non-sentence:

"Leviation's first studio album, Need For Not, appeared on 4 May 1992 (the adverts for the album proclaiming "May the Fourth be with you"), and The Chain With No Name independent record stores sold the album with a limited edition 7" featuring the track Cutwater on one side and an etching of a heart by Dave Francolini and Joanna Peacock on the other. Throughout the summer the band toured with the Cardiacs, including playing at Reading Festival."

If somebody could clarify that middle part, that would be great. Jessicapierce 23:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wowie, never mind. I was parsing "The Chain With No Name" as an album title, due to punctuation, rather than a record shop. I've got this part fixed now. Jessicapierce 23:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The Chain With No Name" was a collective of independent record shops. The bonus 7" was only available at the British independent stores. I see no problem with the removed sentence.

POV

I have placed the {POV} tag on the article - here is just one example of the biased text "Then disaster struck. After playing a bad-tempered fifty-minute set at Tufnell Park Dome in north London on May 14 1993, where the band were co-headlining with Eat, Terry Bickers surprised the audience and the rest of the band by announcing his intentions to leave."

This is an encyclopedia - not a fan-site. Can someone oblige with a more level headed approach ? Thank you,

Something of an over-reaction here - "slightly overly-florid style at points" should not be confused with "lack of NPOV". Perhaps use of the following tag might have been a better choice?

I've had a look through the article and some sentences could admittedly be muted or toned down a little, but there's little here that's not actually correct (perhaps a few more references could be inserted). I will see if I can make some improvements. - Dann Chinn (talk) 01:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

The article about the Hawkwind album Levitation (album) says this band was named after the album. Any evidence for that ? -- Beardo (talk) 22:57, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
