It's true that the author never had a date, but he could at least put some dates in this particular article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.189.191.15 (talk) 17:03, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. There seem to be some dates in the article, but it doesn't say clearly when "45 RPM" was released, and I don't know. In addition, I am not sure of the meaning of "hyped" in the introduction: "the music video for "45 RPM" was replaced by an edited version that included The Alarm's members alongside the hyped members of The Poppy Fields." This looks like slang to me, does it mean "putative", "bogus", "exposed", "hired" or what? 72.177.123.145 (talk) 17:46, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Eric[reply]

This article is incomprehensible.. Can someone write what happened in simple sentences in a chronology without the random quotes and jargon? -166.137.210.17 (talk) 19:53, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
