Higgins explained." → "Higgin's explained that Polydor were not going to continue with the group's contract unless he produced songs for the album" (Apply this to "Love Machine", it escaped my eyes).

(Apply this to "Love Machine").

 * There is no commentary on the alternate cover, so it needs to go.

 * Critical reception
 * As I said above, make a Composition section. Or if you feel that both sections would be too short, rename it simply to "Composition and critical reception". And then put the audio file here.
