Bad Writing

[edit]

This is terrible writing and it would be nice if it was cleared up, so we understand better what befell the studio: "In 1986, Short bought out the other investors and opened Trident 2 which was opened in 1983 and the investors were J.P. Illiesco and Rusty Egan. There were also another group of producers and investors who tried to buy Trident in the 80's after its initial closure headed by Neville Kernick-Nixon, Flood and John Keating, the former then opened The Mad House later known as The Music Station"

Contradiction

[edit]

This article seems to suggest that Paul McCartney's unused block time was given away to a then-unknown Queen, inadvertently starting the rise of the most successful British rock band since The Beatles, and then just a few sentences later states that McCartney purposely lent this time out to Queen, knowing that they had potential.

As I don't know the answer for sure, I'll leave it in for now, however it is surely more likely the former? McCartney has essentially admitted an admiration and respect for Queen (especially Freddie Mercury) but certainly stopped short of saying he liked them on The Magic Years documentary.

Sheffield Interview 2011

[edit]

There is a reference that is simply called "Sheffield Interview 2011". What is that? Where was it published so that we can read it? As it is now, I feel it is not a trustworthy reference. Mark in wiki (talk) 10:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For those reasons alone, I have removed it. The whole article lacks references, and although I have removed unsourced and opinionated text, there are still sections remaining that are not neutral in tone. Much more verified sources and far less hyperbole please.

Sample discography section

[edit]

In the article Goodbye Yellow Brick Road it says the album was recorded at the Château d'Hérouville. There's no mention of Trident at all. But in the article "Candle in the Wind" (about the 1973 song!) it says that the single was recorded at Trident. However, both the album and the single are listed in the "sample discography" section here, which makes me wonder if there are more mistakes here. Maybe we need to check each title one by one. Or is the article about Goodbye Yellow Brick Road incorrect? I do not know enough of Elton John (and do not want to) to make a decision here. But my first thought is: why would we want to list the single at all? It wasn't that succesful (only the 1997 remake was, but that wasn't recorded by Trident!).

Unclear sentence

[edit]

The article contains the sentence " In 1986, Short bought out the other investors and opened Trident 2 which was opened in 1983 and the investors were J.P. Illiesco and Rusty Egan. " - but which year was Trident 2 really started? If someone in the know could please clarify. Thanks Cyan22 (talk) 12:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
