Talk:Ambient 1: Music for Airports

message: When I have listened to the CD version of this album for the first time I immediately realized that there were slight differences from the original vinyl record. There has been some editing, lighter in some parts, heavier in others; other sounds have been added, and I am not sure that this has improved the album. However, my personal opinion about the quality of the operation does not matter at all, but I am quite surprised to see that the article does not mention this editing of the CD version. Am I the only one who noticed this? Does anyone know anything about this?--93.40.115.207 (talk) 19:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

message: :It was installed at the Marine Air Terminal of New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
Thanks to whoever put this in the article, it's an obvious question that will occur to many readers:  Was "Music for Airports" used in airports?  More information is needed, though:  For how long did it run in that terminal?  What other airports have used it?  I don't think a list of 120 airports is what the article needs, but if it was actually used in many airports, that is good information that belongs here, if anybody knows.

replies: text: I added , since -- even though I can't find a source offhand -- on one of my trips to Chicago in the 1980s, I was told that Music For Airports was first installed at, and possibly purchased or commissioned by, O'Hare International Airport. A confirmatory source would be very welcome. --MCB (talk) 06:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The previous March 1978 release date contradicts the Sept. 1978 date on Eno's liner notes. Multiple sources cite a 1979 release; M.C. Strong: The Great Rock Discography says March 1979.Steveholtje (talk) 01:17, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I have uncovered some information about the album which may suggest that March of 1978 might be incorrect, and that it might actually be 1979.
This album insert which contains a passage written by Eno has a date on it which is labeled September 1978.

Since this is directly from the vinyl sleeve, it doesn't compute that the album could have been released in March, unless it was reissued.
I've looked around music databases on the web, like Discogs, 45worlds, Last.fm, etc. (which I know are not reliable sources for Wikipedia), but they all seem to collectively list the album as being released in March of 1979. Which is also consistent to this Rolling Stone article, which was written in July of 1979. Considerably later than March, but plausible, since music of this nature was a little bit under the radar when compared to more popular types of music back then:

And also if you look here at all the releases, not a single issue is dated 1978:

Any suggestions? Would anyone be opposed to changing the release date to 1979? If not March, then simply "1979"? 2603:7000:6B40:8300:E030:8812:B431:1C58 (talk) 22:12, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
