The article is missing Elephant Stone, which is found on every current version of the album. And the real version of the song, not the drumbot version.
 * It wasn't on the original release. It was added primarily for the American market. WesleyDodds 08:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If you have a version of the album which features both Elephant Stone and Fool's Gold then it is the US version - even now the true UK release can be bought new with the original listing. (80.193.99.43 (talk) 11:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC))

Links
I don't know who it is (obviously) who keeps removing my website links from the external links pages of every page relating to The Stone Roses but if you could stop it... then that'd be coool. ta.

The url link for the Discography site - The Definitive Stone Roses Discography is www.orelp502.co.uk and not www.thisisthedaybreak.co.uk. I should know, I designed it and paid for the domain. Cheers. TheJSU - http&#58;//www.john-squire.com 08:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Release date
Hey guys, I modified the release date to March 13th and provided a cite. In addition to the BBC stating that it was released in March, Discogs also agrees with the March date. However, I have seen a few references to May as well (from generally less reliable sites). I guess an easy way to know for sure is whether someone on here can recall when the album was released. Any help on that is appreciated! --Star shaped 14:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Until such time as actual evidence can be found, I've changed the date to 'Spring 1989' Longwayround (talk) 21:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything I can find suggests UK release was 13 March 1989; the May references likely refer to the US release date, 2 May 1989. Some links for this are BBC, Daily Mirror, Last FM. Don't know if this counts as actual evidence though? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezy Rider (talk • contribs) 14:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Certainly, I would agree that the bulk of the evidence points to it having been released in the UK in March 1989. (It was in the UK album charts at the beginning of April 1989, hence we can contentedly discount any later suggestions.) However, I'm inclined to discount all of the three links you suggest as sources (as well as Discogs) since they are quite likely to have acquired their information from this very site. I suspect that a contemporary copy of NME, Melody Maker or Sounds would give us the detail we require. Longwayround (talk) 17:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Interestingly, I have found a site with an NME review of the 'Made of Stone' single from 11 March 1989 and a review of the LP from 29 April 1989. Similarly, this 9 December 1989 article from Melody Maker claims that 'The Stone Roses delivered their debut LP at the end of April' and John Squire's website also claims April while this rather elderly page claims 2 May 1989. Personally, I think the NME and Melody Maker articles (assuming they are genuine) are most likely to be accurate. Longwayround (talk) 13:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Pearl Bastard
Any idea, when this previously unreleased demo track from the collector's editions may have been recorded? It has been said often that it bares similarites to "Sugar Spun Sister" and also a never-recorded song called "Your Time Will Come". I even picked up a white label 7" of this track recently.

Tracklist wrong
For some reason I can't edit (so much for the founding principles of wikipedia, it now seems to be run by a self-selecting chosen few) but hopefully someone will put this right. The tracklist for the original UK release is wrong, tracks 2 & 3 are in the wrong order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.72.144 (talk) 00:55, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Well spotted. Maybe if you had logged in you would have had more luck with editing. I've made the change for you. Thanks. Longwayround (talk) 21:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
