Life Is a Minestrone

 * ... that "Life Is a Minestrone" was originally released as the lead single from The Original Soundtrack due to 10cc's reluctance to release "I'm Not in Love"?

Generally, this looks good to me - length, hook etc. My only query is about the tone - e.g. saying the band "did not have the balls" to release the single. Is this a quote or paraphrase? If not, it doesn't sound very neutral. Dwab3 (talk) 08:47, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It is neither, it's common parlance where I live and given how late it was I must not have been watching what I was typing. Fixed.-- Laun  chba  ller  11:37, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It would seem you have balls on your mind a lot, Launchballer. EEng (talk) 19:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd like to enquire as to what makes the 10CC fan club website a reliable enough source to build a hook on? --  Ohc  ¡digame! 09:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Certainly. That is a transcript of a BBC Radio Wales interview, which is certainly a reliable source. As I can't find the audio interview, I am happy to assume good faith on the transcription.-- Laun  chba  ller  11:15, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed reticence --> reluctance since the former means a hesitation to speak or be frank. EEng (talk) 19:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg problems seems to have been fixed, long enough, new enough, qpq done, inline citation checks, refs checks, good 2 go.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:59, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
