Talk:Sir Lord Baltimore

Bias arguments

Anonymous comment left in article

It is rumored that the band broke up after discovering that their contract had cut them out of all royalties from their first two albums.

John Garner and Louis Dambra recently recorded and self-released a new Sir Lord Baltimore album, based on the material that would have comprised the group's third album in 1973.

That is a mis - interpretation of what I wrote. First , there is no rumored entries that I have made to update this page. Yes , there were problems with their mamgement that did not pay the band for their first two albums. That's not a rumor. It also is no rumor that Sir Lord Baltimore has released a EP-CD titled "Sir Lord Baltimore III RAW". I am very surprised that you condensed my entry in Winkopedia , which is a site that is suppose to encourage new , truthfull , material.!

John Garner worked 100's of hours re-engineering "SLB III RAW". It is a most welcome release of never before heard SLB songs with never released pictures and an updated Biography of the band.This entry was meant to "update" Sir Lord Baltimore " fans who are many. I offerred my e-mail address : crobasso@yahoo.com , for any fan who would like to receive more information about the band.

Strictly speaking, Wikipedia isn't interested in "truthful", it's interested in "verifiable". It may well be true that about the management problems, but as long as we have only your word for it, it's just a rumor to us. --Paul A 01:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

i can verify that fact that sir lord baltimore did get screwed by their band becuase their is a whole exerpt on their album sleeve i own which tells the story the band endured, also explaining the band was also very young at the time they recorded and trusted the wrong people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Typicalhyjink101 (talk • contribs) 19 February 2007

Presuming you meant "screwed by their label", not "band"; just to play devil's advocate (I have no reason to think they weren't screwed; happened often back then, and still does), liner notes presumably from SLB III Raw aren't an unbiased source for that kind of charge. Not to say it couldn't be added to the article using the liner notes as a source, but using one party's say-so is questionable.Thehaikumaster 04:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The whole point of the conversation in the first place was to debate the liner notes on the SRB album, which would definitely give a whole nother tone to the article which talks about Eddie Kramer and his contributions to the band. [...] The main point of all the talking is how to source information that is not online, such as the liner notes which is an extremely rare piece of material worthy of being added to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Typicalhyjink101 (talk • contribs) 21 February 2007

If you want to figure out how to source something, there are countless examples on Wikipedia -- look around till you find a liner notes citation, and follow that pattern. Hope it helps.

Also, just to further explain my point ('cause you seem to have missed it; please refer to your Talk page), sourcing to liner notes is not the problem. The problem/question is, who wrote the liner notes? If they were written by the band, and make charges against the record label while absolving themselves of all blame, then it's hard to consider it an unbiased source without collaborating testimony from a neutral third party. If it was written by a neutral third party, then it's a lot more effective. Thehaikumaster 18:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Kudos

Fairly informative article I must agree. Sir Lord Baltimore reminds me of a few other bands from the 70's like Banchee and Bull Angus. Im surprised there is still information about such a cult band like SLB. (205.209.94.60 16:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC))

As the primary author, gracias, though it is still very much a work in progress. As you pointed out, info is hard to find, but I've found a good handful of additional sources and hope to revamp this page within the next month. I'm also going to have to check out those bands you mentioned, as I'm not sure I've heard them before and they sound interesting. The Haiku Master 15:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Sir Lord Baltimore up-date

Having just returned from New York where I have rehearsed and jammed with John Garner I can add a few things.
"Sir Lord Baltimore III Raw" has now been properly pressed and is soon to be released again, still on John's own label though.
"Where Are We Going" was not recorded live, but recorded in the studio and the audience added later on.
The rumours about someone in SLB being part of the band Bloody Mary is as follows: John did some backing vocals on ONE song, as they were in the same studio.
John also verified they never received any royalties for the recordings, and none for the re-issue either.
There are also plans for Sir Lord Baltimore live shows in the fall (2007), featuring John (drums/lead vocals) and two other musicians.

Louis Dambra Dead?

In the members section, it states that Dambra has passed away. I've not found any information verifying that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.143.192.254 (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
