Hi there, VirreFriberg, and welcome to DYK! (Hi to you too, Graearms :)) While this is an "among the first" hook – as opposed to a pure "first" hook, which requires strong sourcing – i'm not quite sure that this hook has the necessary sourcing to back up its claim. Reverb is a guitar equipment sales company, while Planet Mellotron simply appears to be a website. I don't think either meets the burdens of WP:RS – can the sourcing be improved? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
