I've added a whole bunch of information and an infobox, but don't have a link to a fair use cover scan or any external review links... Fosse8 16:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
did he fall from the third or fourth floor?
here [1] it is written 3rd floor
and here [2] it is written 4th floor.
4th according to episode 3 of abridgement of his biography which was written by Marcus O'Dair who appears to be from the UK.

Why was the Pitchfork review deleted? Just because the rating is considerably lower than the others? It's a well-known publication, and it seems biased to only include favorable reviews. I'd like to add it again unless there is a good reason not to. Cromni ( talk) 00:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Would anyone object to an audio clip. Is the existing mention of ""Sea Song" sufficient to support one? Open to any and all other suggestions. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 21:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
@ Martinevans123: You may have seen by now, but after sifting through all the Rock Bottom material I decided to start at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane 8th September 1974 concert and work from there. I created and expanded that article with the idea that there will eventually be a subsection here about the concert, maybe a paragraph long or so; that way the eventual "Main article:" template has somewhere to link out to. I've already added a music sample to that page, also for "Sea Song", and I chose the very tail end of the track for that page.
Btw, thanks for the rec. Berlin School-style electronics stuff can be hit or miss for me, especially if it's all plastic synth arpeggios all the time, but I like how that blended a range of other sounds, it felt very organic and alive. — BLZ · talk 01:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it is unsourced, and some is just opinion. But it all sounds quite accurate and some of it could be easily sourced. So just saving a record here and here. Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:52, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
On some pressings the track is called "Alife", on others "Alifie". How do we deal with this? Is there a source that defines one of these as a misprint? Is there a source that declares one of these is the "correct" one? (See this change.) Mark in wiki ( talk) 16:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Christgau is an unimportant nobody that just happened to get a regular gig for a few years - where are the Rolling Stone and New Musical Express views of the album? And other important/notable comments? This album had a fairly large amount of press at the time. 2603:6080:21F0:6140:18B3:B154:5009:231 ( talk) 13:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
