I created this article today to improve this encyclopedia by including notable information about an album that was thus far neglected. Enjoy. Vivaldi ( talk) 06:21, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
According to the new Todd in the Shadows video the release date on this article is wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C50:B40:1FF8:B491:8CC7:D750:6E71 ( talk) 02:35, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
According to Discogs, the album was re-released on CD in 1989 to go along with the promo CD single and music video for "Cry Out". 108.53.20.85 ( talk) 05:40, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
In several sources, which Wikipedia considers to be unreliable due to being user-generated, the release date of the album is 1989, this includes Discogs [1], and Rate Your Music [2]. AllMusic (who's status as a source is disputed) lists it as 1986 [3], and this video by Todd In The Shadows (which yes, is from YouTube who's source status is considered unreliable due to being user-generated), he says the press coverage is from 1989. (Here's the video itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGwTNbuPYBo). I do not know if this release date dispute is because of Scientology pushing the date back to be before Hubbard's death in 1986 or because of several other things, also the release section is wrong too as Rhino Records issued the album, not Scientology's music publishing wing.

This article uses 1 very small user-generated review at AllMusic (see WP:ALLMUSIC) to get their 1.5 stars (that was generous), and 2 Church of Scientology (COS) promotional webpages to source the "Production" section. The website ronthemusicmaker.org was published by COS [1]. Ron The Music Maker was a glossy magazine-type publication by COS [2] [3] where the content was written by L. Ron Hubbard biographer Dan Sherman [4] who wrote in extremely pompous flowery words and would put the most eagerly interested person to sleep [5]. The alleged words of Edgar Winter inserted into this wiki article are unlikely Winter's and sounds exactly how Sherman would have written it (which he did, in a sense). Winter didn't know Hubbard personally, so I'm sure he never would have written those flowery words. After searching for any reviews of this album online, I found this one on YouTube [6] that was thorough and interesting... I think. LOL. Maybe we should just delete the "Production" section under the WP:ABOUTSELF policy. Grorp ( talk) 04:04, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
