Set Album to Class B & Top Importance Megamanic 09:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
User:PetSounds recently removed a major quantity of material here with no explanation beyond an edit summary saying "fixing up". PetSounds, could you please explain the rationale of your edit? Offhand, I disagree strongly with the deletions, but I figured I'd ask what is going on rather than revert. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:28, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
First, "major" is a bit of an overstatement. The text needed more historical background (how Gram joined and influenced the band and why he left) which it did not have. And also, it is worth pointing out how big a commercial risk they were taking. I re-added the paragraph on the 2003 re-master - that was an unintentional deletion on my part. In any case, the article is improved now. PetSounds 13:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
According to our article on The Notorious Byrd Brothers, that album was not a big hit at least in the U.S., peaking at only #47. Could someone clarify the difference in tone between this article and the other? Thanks, Meelar (talk) 18:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
I was in Albuquerque, about a month ago, when I saw an old poster in the lobby of the Howard Johnson's, Sweetheart of the Rodeo by Jo Mora made in 1933 (I just looked that up and found out what it was) and the noticed the graphic in the middle, was the same one that was on the cover this album. I told my friend who I was with "I think I saw that picture on the cover of some old record".--Hailey 02:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
The Kevin Kelley link leads to some boxer dud who was not a drummer.
On which tracks to Parsons' lead vocals remain? - GTBacchus( talk) 03:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Isn't the lyric, "He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan", not what's written here (leader of). It only seems important because the article actually has them in quotes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.166.84 ( talk) 15:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the tag stating that this article "includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations". This is because I have restructured the article, expanding it significantly, removing many factual inaccuracies and added many new inline references to remedy the specific "No footnotes" issue.

I have reformatted the "Personnel" section in keeping with Wikipedia style guidelines. Titles should not appear with a capital letter at the start of each word...in most cases they should only have a capital letter at the start of the first word. Check out some of the other music related articles on Wikipedia, if their section headings are formatted correctly, this is how they will appear. It also makes sense to have the various headings related to Personnel as sub-sections under the general "Personnel" section...in keeping with the "Track Listing" section, which has sub-sections for "Side 1" and "Side 2" etc, etc. This is compliant with Wikipedia style guidelines.
Additionally, I have also removed the reference in the "Personnel" section relating to David Fricke and Johnny Rogan's liner notes in the 1997 CD reissue - these liner notes DO NOT support this information adequately. There is NO detailed listing of track-by-track personnel anywhere in these liner notes. Please only use references that genuinely support the information found in the article, thank you.

I have reinstated the "electric guitar" credit to Roger McGuinn in the Personnel section because although he doesn't play the instrument on the 11 tracks that make up the original album, he did play his 12-String Rickenbacker during the album sessions. McGuinn's 12-String electric guitar playing can be heard on the album outtakes "Lazy Days" and "Pretty Polly", both of which are included as bonus tracks on the 1997 Remastered CD.
