Will probably review this in the next few days.

some cursory thoughts

 * Could the album title be shortened some in body? It’s a bit unwieldy with the full eight word title every time it’s mentioned. One of the reviews quoted in Reception shortens it to Peter and the Wolf, so perhaps that’s a viable alternative.
 * Fixed


 * Leonard Cohen had previously narrated a version… narrated probably shouldn’t be linked.
 * Fixed


 * Later issues were pressed in standard black vinyl. Is there a source for this or is it cited in the previous citations in the paragraph?
 * Removed


 * In sources: Should "David Bowie All the Songs" have a colon after "Bowie"?
 * That's how it's titled in the book itself (without a colon)

That’s all I can see on first glance, will check against criteria in the next couple days. (If I don’t get around to it by then please ping me with a strongly worded demand, as there is a 90% chance I’m procrastinating.)

Hi. I just wanted to check in on the progress of these points. I see you’ve shortened the name, but nothing else seems to be done. Do you want me to just start the criteria checking? blueskiesdry … (cloudy contribs…)  00:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * That's my bad I forgot to add this to my watchlist. Doing now. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

the actual review

 * @Zmbro I’ve put this article on hold so you can satisfy the minor concerns I have. I’m not sure if the bot notifies you of this on your talk page, but if it does I’m sorry for pinging you twice. Blueskiesdry (talk) 21:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Just a heads up the full Inquirer article is archived here so you can check it there. For future reference, if you come across a paywalled article (Rolling Stone, NYT, Wall Street Journal, etc.), archive the page using https://archive.is/. That always un-paywalls the articles I find compared to https://archive.org/web/ :-) – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Paraphrased a little. How's the Inquirer look now? – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:38, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The FU rationale is fine for the reissue cover as everything is already filled out. That notice always appears as a reminder. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Found this post by Bowie's website describing a reissue by RCA/Music On Vinyl in 2014 so I replaced Classic FM with that. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * All looks good now. I’ll change the remaining parameters of the template and then I’ll pass it. Blueskiesdry (talk) 19:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
