Introduction Warning Box
Hi, I noticed this page had a warning box that the introduction contained most of the information. I've created some extra sections for the main article, based around other pages on albums, relocated parts of the introduction to these sections, and will remove the warning box.Ethdhelwen (talk) 13:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Track listing
The track listing appears to be for a vinyl album because it has side one and side two, the some of the times differ from the album I purchased new in 1972. My copy was purchased in the US in case that may be the reason for the difference. I am going to change it to the times published on the album. I would be interested to know the source for the current times. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Mine (off Australian cassette) substitutes Goodnight Ladies for Perfect Day, so ends with Perfect Day on side two. Anyone else have this? MartinSFSA (talk) 09:05, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Sources on lyrics and writing?
Does anyone have good known sources of info on the writing (music and lyrics) of the record? Looking to build a section on that out. Tactical Fiend (talk) 15:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
