Vocals

The article claims that "this is the first Wakeman album with vocals". Actually, it is the first to have lyrics. Background vocalists were used on several tracks on the preceding album "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" (1973). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.171.242.194 (talk) 01:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First A&M UK #1? Errr.....

That's interesting, since according to the succession table, the album it bumped out of #1 was by The Carpenters - who were also on A&M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.73.184 (talk) 02:33, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edvard Grieg for "The Forest"

The article previously said that an excerpt of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg is credited in the album's liner notes. This is correct but, I believe is lacking sufficient detail and/or referencing. The exact text from the UK LP is:

I would like to give thanks to Grieg for "HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING". Because I stole a few bars.

I have added the text to the article. While my addition is correct and, I believe, more informative as I have added it, I don't think the representation is ideal. The LP uses double quotes around "HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING", as above. To quote the entire text, I used single quotes to avoid confusion with the double quotes used in the album artwork. I'm not sure if this is the preferred method in this situation. Using the blockquote element made the quote overwhelm the rest of the text which seems undesirable.

I hope a fellow Wikipedian can reformat this if there is a better way to do so that I am unaware of.

To be particularly pedantic, the position of the period in "HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING" varies between inside and outside the quotes on various releases. The UK LP releases I have seen, e.g., this one have it outside so that is how I did it (after my next edit, ahem...) Wantnot (talk) 08:48, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory

> He then took "the frightening decision of only recording the second performance and hoping there weren't too many mistakes".

> The first half of the second show was recorded...

> the previously unreleased first half of the second concert

Isn't this contradictory? The article first states that only the second performance was recorded, then that part of the second performance was also recorded - twice. Jules TH 16 (talk) 20:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
