The major source for this article is not viewable online; nevertheless, it is possible to see copying in some of the content that is. For instance, the article says:

Originally 'billed' as Vic Smith his work with "David Watts" was a sparkling cover version of a The Kinks song, and "'A' Bomb in Wardour Street" recaptured their earlier, focused energy. Most importantly, what came to be known as the 'Jam sound' was there for the first time - clean and tight; hard and shiny like a diamond. Chris Parry had realised that while he was co-producing the band, there were too many ideas flying around pulling the band in too many directions, so he stepped down and left things in the hands of Smith (who later renamed himself Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, apparently inspired by his girlfriend) who focused on capturing the energy that the band generated while playing live as cleanly as possible.

'David Watts' was a sparkling cover of a mid-period Kinks song, and 'A-Bomb in Wardour Street' recaptured their earlier, focused energy. Most importantly, what came to be known as the 'Jam sound' was there for the first time - clean and tight; hard and shiny like a diamond. Chris Parry had realised that while he was co-producing the band, there were too many ideas flying around pulling the band in too many directions, so he stepped down and left things in the hands of engineer Vic Smith (who later renamed himself Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, apparently inspired by his girlfriend6) who focused on capturing the energy that the band generated while playing live as cleanly as possible.

Unfortunately, it's necessary to presume that all of the content was problematic at article creation. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Different Vic Smith

Can it be checked that the Vic Smith involved in Bodacious DF was this one? I understand that there's an American (possibly California-based) Vic Smith who played in Grootna and Bodacious DF who I suspect may have been confused with this one. --Matt Westwood 10:56, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to Discogs, they are different people. But, that may not be definitive and that site's discography is also confused. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:24, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
