I am sorry to say that posting the album cover here seems to be a copyvio plain and simple. -- Daniel C. Boyer 16:04, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I'm a big Cure fan but this is simply POV:
'The result is an inspired and inspirational record, and a far cry from a typical commercial musical product of the time.'
Also I heard that the master tapes of this album were accidently destroyed. Is that true?
Ever since I bought the album years ago I've suspected the drums were all pre-programmed on a Boss DR-220A drum machine (or something with a similar sound); and that the only live "drums" were Lol playing the odd cymbal crash through a wah-wah pedal, or a couple live drum fills in "A Forest". Anyone know if this is true? There certainly seems to be little in the way of real drums on any Cure album from this to Pornography. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad ( talk) 19:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm tempted to remove the sentence in the section about the 2005 re-release stating that the master tapes were erased by a washing machine magnet. This sentence went uncited for months and the current citation mentions nothing about this. The cited article mentions the home demos on the second CD being rough possibly due to "various stories about boxes being left (and warped) by Mike Hedges’ washing machine." Quite a different situation than the Seventeen Seconds master tapes being erased due to a washing machine magnet. Is this washing machine incident some well known story that I'm unaware of? If so, can it be better verified? Stangbat ( talk) 02:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, the given citation does not support the statement. I think it should be replaced with 'citation needed', any objections? Scatterkeir ( talk) 22:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Frankie Rose – Seventeen Seconds was released Dec 2017. Is this worth inclusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roy Szweda ( talk • contribs) 12:08, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
