“Big Bad Voodoo Daddy” vs. “Americana Deluxe”, what’s the title? edit

Latest comment: 2 days ago4 comments2 people in discussion

howdy~

I'm primarily a MusicBrainz editor, and I noticed a claim on this page that doesn't seem correct to me, namely about the album's title. the current wording is, “However, the liner notes and the band's website clearly show that the title is Americana Deluxe”. I believe this claim might be due to the filename of the album cover image on their gallery page. however, I found a sampler from this album which clearly lists this album as “Big Bad Voodoo Daddy”, see the back and insert scans here. there's also several other places where this is the case, I went into more detail on the MusicBrainz edit.

the “Americana Deluxe” claim was also added without any sources, see the relevant revision

That this article has been allowed to remain with the wrong title this long is preposterous. Every source contemporaneous to the album's release refers to the album as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. "Americana Deluxe" is merely an artistic header for the mock restaurant menu depicted in the liner notes--like "Appetizers"...or "Desserts" in a real restaurant. In Newspapers.com, I have found dozens of articles/ads around the album's release, not one using the words Americana Deluxe. alainsane (talk) 05:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

in terms of contemporary sources, most certainly the album is called Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. that said, I have found some recent official sources that call the album "Americana Deluxe", namely two 2020 videos on their YouTube channel in which Scotty Morris talks about some videos from the album:

I've asked them on Twitter to confirm the name of the album and if it's been changed, we'll see if they reply:

that said, I do agree this should most likely use the original title, since it's more likely to be found that way (who would search for the title of the menu in the booklet? that's some ARG nonsense, lol) UltimateRiff (talk) 05:33, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
