Album infobox

I added a the new template album infobox and afterwards I realized that the Columbia issue I input was a reissue I have dated in the early eighties. I have since removed that and replaced it with the original Apple issue(s) from 1973 in both the UK and US. I just wanted to clarify why there are two edits of mine so close together. It was a mistake and hopefully no further corrections are needed. Feel free to make any comments on my Talk page. Thanks. PlasticBeat 05:49, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Stunning

From the opening paragraph:

...it stunned everyone with its quality...

Let's rephrase this because in actuality, this album did not stun me with its quality. Though "Let Me Roll It" is pretty wicked... --buck 04:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

incident first night in lagos

would someone please tell the story of the robbery/mugging the first night in Lagos? I don't have references but the story is sourceable. Dioxinfreak (talk) 05:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I would argue to change the section about the albums release. The critics called the album steller seems a bit to enthusiastic.

2010 Remaster

Shouldn't the upcoming 2010 remaster of the album, which Paul McCartney mentioned himself, be noted in this article? I think it needs a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.131.88 (talk) 03:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Why don't we wait until it comes out? Hotcop2 (talk) 11:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Allmusic ratings

The article contains Album ratings for both the original release and the 2010 re-release with only an Allmusic review listed for the latter. Allmusic ratings, however, are shared among all releases (that is, Allmusic does not re-rate even if there are significant differences between releases [see "Funky Kingston", Toots & the Maytals]). So including a second Album ratings section whose one review has the identical rating as for the equivalent review in the first Album ratings section seems a little redundant.

The review, itself, and the author too are different for the re-release so it might make sense to quote the review and reference it that way rather than through a second Album ratings.
