Comments[edit]

I would argue that this is an album, not an EP. And Stereolab seems to think so too:

  • Space Age Bachelor Pad Music → Space Age Batchelor Pad Music – This is the correct title of the EP, as reflected in the article's text 66.68.23.185 (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a pun with "batch", or do we need to continue someone's misspelling? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – "The article's text" is not a source or a good reason for anything. Make a real case. Dicklyon (talk) 06:34, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't cite the text as a source or a reason, merely as a note that the EP title is correct in the text and incorrect in the article title. It is obvious that the two don't match. Given that one of them must be in error, the next logical step is to do a simple search to find the official title. 66.68.23.185 (talk) 20:23, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It may have been a simple misspelling since a source I just looked at says that "the album spine and back cover spells it correctly." [1]. On the other hand, the fact that they have a second "creative" spelling on the album cover (groop) and of such a common word, makes me think it might be quite intentional. In any event, not convinced on the evidence presented, but I could be, given more to go on.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:16, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The band does seem to spell it "Batchelor", at least some times, but "Bachelor" is much more common in the sources. "Bachelor" gets 535 Google Books hits versus 73 for "Batchelor". Of course many of the hits for the former aren't all for this album, but the Allmusic and Pitchfork sources cited in the article, plus Rolling Stone[2], use "Bachelor" (though some use the full title "The Groop Played...")--Cúchullain t/c 18:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
