Talk:Strangeways, Here We Come

message: If David Bowie's "Heroes" and Bob Dylan's "Love and Theft" have quotation marks around their titles in the Wikipedia article names, shouldn't we change the name of this article too?--HisSpaceResearch 04:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: According to Bowie, the quotation marks are part of the title on "Heroes", whereas they're not part of the title of Strangeways - probably they were just added by Morrissey for stylistic reasons (as he did on most of his solo albums, right up until You Are the Quarry).

message: The last sentence in the first paragraph under "about the album" states that the song "I won't share you" features no guitar.  Anyone that has listened to the song knows this to be incorrect.  In fact just googeling "smiths I won't share you" instantly brings up guitar tab links.  As a result of this factual inaccuracy and lack of any citation I have excised the entire sentence of this paragraph.66.61.85.62 (talk) 05:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Can anyone confirm whether Morrissey's piano part on "Death of a Disco Dancer" is the only case of him playing an instrument on a Smiths recording? If it is, I think this should be pointed out in the article. MegdalePlace 06:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: September 28 1987 might not be the earliest release date. The MusicBrainz  database lists an earlier date for the U.S. release (1987-09-22, United States, Sire Records)

replies: text: MusicBrainz data is user-contributed with very little oversight or citation of sources, so it usually amounts to useless hearsay. Despite its 1987 copyright dates, the US CD's street date was in January 1988, according to the Schwann catalog, which got its info from major labels at the time and is generally pretty reliable. I would assume the LP and cassette came out at the same time. Also, it would be highly unusual for a US release to come out before the UK one, when it's a UK indie band. (That said, "How Soon is Now?" apparently began life as a UK B-side in 1984, then was released as a US & Canadian single in 1984, then in the rest of the world, including the UK again, in 1985.) —mjb (talk) 05:15, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I see up top of this Talk page that about a decade ago there was a discussion regarding the quotation marks in the title. Discussion didn't seem to go anywhere. I have to disagree with Oberonfoxie's reasoning here -- this is the only Smiths album featuring these quotation marks. Might be worth reconsidering a redirect, just for the OCD-ness of it. Curious what others think (including HisSpaceResearch). Tactical Fiend (talk) 21:31, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
