Talk:Revelation (Man album)

Issues with consistency across the Man albums
Hello fellow Man fans.. I'm writing this as I've finally gotten around to being a bit in sync with the Wikipedia "dos" & "do nots" when it comes to editing Band album pages. I'm interested in contributing as I have a decent amount of knowledge into Music of various genre's and styles, as an old muso & ex-roadie from Down Under (Australia). I'm putting this out so as to get an idea on peoples reactions/agreement/disagreement with getting the first era (I.E. up to 1976) quite a bit more in sync with each other, as little things like Micky Jones always as just that, not Michael, as with Deke Leonard never going by Roger, as this in my opinion creates an inconsistency that would confuse those who don't know their the same people when reading them for the first time, as an example. The other one is the formats that each contains is varied on each page & think that it would be nice if they all had quite a bit more symmetry to them as a group of pages. This is what I appologise for as I was up late after being down the pub watching the footy the other night & started to get carried away with the whole thing. So what do people think? Let me know please as I'm willing to put a contribution to work others have already done if people agree with this...

Hello Grasshopper - I agree that there should be consistancy across the ENTIRE career of Man, but at the same time, accuracy MUST be maintained. For example, I have a copy of the REVELATION album, but as part of a re-issue set (another one, called "In the Beginning..." which is "Revelation" and "2 Oz of Plastic..." in a CD compilation). Trouble is, it refers to Mickey Jones, whereas examination of the ORIGINAL vinyl L.P. MAY refer to him as Michael Jones. If this is the case, (I can't confirm one way or the other, cos I've never seen it) then you HAVE to go along with Michael. You have to watch out for details like this.
