So Far vs. Faust So Far

Does anybody know why the LP cover and wikipedia article list the title as 'Faust So Far', but the official discography and Allmusic list the title as simply 'So Far'? I can't find any solid explanation. 58.173.226.91 (talk) 07:20, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at the different releases at The Faust Pages and Rate Your Music. It seems the original was called So Far, but reissues may have changed it to Faust So Far, but I stand corrected. --Bruce1ee^talk 09:37, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, when it was first released in the UK, the album's title was certainly "So Far", nothing more nothing less. I'm sure that the band's name appeared on the cover, even though I no longer have my copy. It would be strange if it did not.

However the layout might have changed with more recent releases, I strongly believe that the present day name of the album has evolved simply because of the juxtaposition of the band's name with its title. As simple as that. As far as the accuracy is concerned, if it's now known as Faust So Far, however that came about, that's what we should be using. It goes against my own feeling because of my acquaintance with the album, though, and I shall probably always call it So Far, but privately and not within earshot of the name police.

Really half-assed writing

"It has a slightly more commercial sound than their first album, with both "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl" and
"No Harm" (also known as "Daddy, Take the Banana") being free-form rock-outs based on simple rhythms."

Commercial sound = not quite NPOV Even if it were, why would try to use "free-form rock-outs" to prove that an album is "more commercial"? Further, why is this in the summary? How about historical context? Reception? Relation to the band's career as a whole? I would avoid describing specific songs unless there's an explicitly good reason for doing so (which there sure can be.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.23.236.17 (talk) 15:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I felt dissatisfied with that part, as well. So I rewrote it a little. I don't think it's perfect yet, but hope others agree that it's an improvement. 184.41.105.22 (talk) 10:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Daddy and the banana

I can understand how somebody might begin to believe that "No Harm" is "(also known as "Daddy, Take the Banana")". Simply because the lyrics are, in part, "Daddy, take the banana, tomorrow is Sunday".

But I don't believe that the track is also known as that. Not really. It's always been titled "No Harm" on various releases of the album that I have seen, and there's no citation for the claim that it has an alternate name, so I have deleted that "also known" statement.184.41.105.22 (talk) 10:34, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
