Hello there! I have several things I'd like to bring up about the Wikia page on Baltimora. I came across the act via the discography database Discogs; where there seems to be census it was an alias. It seems another Wikipedia editor pointed it out ( /info/en/?search=Talk:Baltimora#Yet_Another_Italian_Phony); as did Baltimora's personal acquaintance Tom Hooker in an interview: https://web.archive.org/web/20131109143139/http://www.euro-flash.net/deejays.php?djID=2
Also; I viewed the prior versions of the page; and New Wave doesn't seem like a major style of Baltimora's, but I think its okay to keep. Also; the information on the album's various musicians was removed, for reasons I am not sure of. Finally; the Billboard magazine article articulated that just over a million sales in the western Occident (the US) constituted half of the overall purchased in total:
-"The group sold nearly half its singles, totaling [sic] more than a million units, in the U.S. alone".
An Irish blogger & writer also stated that the voice was "hardly a Derry accent": http://josefoshea.blogspot.com/2014/03/tarzan-boy-how-emergency-paramedic-from.html
I posted this message on a contributor's talk page; but haven't received a response yet.

There are a lot of discussions around the web as to whether McShane or Bassi performed the lead vocals for Baltimora. This article currently credits Bassi with lead vocals, which I feel is correct, though the source used for that claim is not very good. I am not sure if Bassi has ever publicly stated that he performed the main vocals for Baltimora. However, there are a number of pieces of evidence for this. Every time Baltimora did a public performance, it played a recording and lip synced. In 'Tarzan Boy' there is a noticeable Italian accent in the singing, especially at time 1:02 in the track. At time 0:58 in 'Welcome To The Sunshine' by Carrara (Bassi), the singing is very similar to the lead singing in 'Tarzan Boy'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.208.224 ( talk) 13:24, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
