Call Me Burroughs edit

(

... that Paul McCartney was so impressed by the album Call Me Burroughs he hired the producer, Ian Sommerville, to build him a home studio?

Refs 6, 7, 8 and 9 need to be brought in line with each other. I'd recommend using the format from ref 6 and an accompanying "Bibliography" section with the Miles book listed (level 3 header, or just use as semicolon, as in ";Bibliography", for a bold header without a TOC link). Also, would it be possible to note which works each of the tracks have been taken from? The second point is hardly a deal breaker but it would be a useful addition. Other than the inconsistent refs everything else checks out fine though. GRAPPLE X 05:49, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually, ref. 6 refers to the earlier Miles source, the liner notes for the reissue of the album. The Miles biography of McCartney was added later, so there is now some confusion. When I add refs from Miles' biography of Burroughs, the matter will become more complicated, so, yes, that needs to be sorted out. Good idea on the 2nd suggestion, and the information is right here in the liner notes, so I will add that. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 03:37, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Aha. In that case, something like "Miles (year), p. XX" would work best. GRAPPLE X 03:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Take a look at the changes I made, and let me know what you think. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 03:52, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Ref 7 could probably be done the same way as 8 and 9 but everything else looks tickety boo. Should be plenty good to go. GRAPPLE X 03:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
