"...Creation and their record plugging company had folded and that the decision had been made, first to release "Night Vision" instead of "Wherever I Lay Phone", and then to replace "Night Vision" with "Do or Die"..." - passive voice makes the writing unclear: who made the decision?
It was Creation - have made this clearer. The point is that both companies were in the process of going out of business so the decision was quite haphazard.

What is a "record plugging company"? Is there a wikipedia article that describe what a record plugging company is?
That's how's it's described by Rhys. I did look for a Wiki link but couldn't find one. There's
Song-plugger which is definitely not right and
Product placement, which is a different thing entirely. There are plenty of hits within articles for "record plugger" but seemingly no article on the subject. It's basically a promotions company that tries to get singles played on the radio.

In "Release and critical reception", "quite fancied the idea of a novelty hit". - which reference did this quote come from?
Didn't realise I hadn't got a close cite for that - will check whether it's from the Melody Maker or NME article when I get home.
