Untitled
editDick Parry is mentioned in the intro of the article, but then on the line-up other person appears as the sax player. Something's wrong or omitted I guess. --Astroguato 09:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I found some fans webpages on this band, 1 or 2 years ago, but now I cant find it on the web: I hope I have back here on my personal archive. --Doktor Who 05:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- Dick Parry was never a member of Jokers Wild, Astroguato. It's unclear where this rumour came from. See reference "The Music Scene of 1960s Cambridge" (PDF). i-spysydincambridge.com/. Retrieved 26 October 2020. Papa Golf 9 (talk) 12:11, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Cleanup
editSome content on this page (such as band member descriptions), appears to be vandalism, but since I know nothing about this band, I can't be sure. Someone who is more knowledgeable please clean this page up. Thanks. Fleagle 02:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Genre
edit"Boozes-rock?" Forgive my playing the stereotypical ignorant American, but I haven't a clue what "boozes-rock," is supposed to be, and I don't doubt for a moment that I am the only one. Someone more knowledgeable than I should either start an article for boozes-rock or change the term used in this article to one which is a bit more recognizable. ccromwell 21:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Joker's or Jokers?
editIs the band name "Joker's Wild" (per the article title) or "Jokers Wild" (per the article body)? GoingBatty (talk) 23:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Jokers Wild (the card playing term). See reference "The Music Scene of 1960s Cambridge" (PDF). i-spysydincambridge.com/. Retrieved 26 October 2020 Papa Golf 9 (talk) 12:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
When was the album released?
editI'll try to remember to look it up, to be sure, later today but if I don't then this article could really use a year of release for the album and single. It's strangely not mentioned at all. Dismas|(talk) 13:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Jokers Wild (band) : Recent publications
editSome publications that include contributions from past band members and others who were in Cambridge at the time became available between 2012-2020. These have enabled improvements in the accuracy of the article. The publications are:
- Where the Wild Things are, Carl Tweed, Shindig, No 32, April 2013 - The Music Scene of 1960s Cambridge, Warren Dosanjh and Mick Brown, 6th Edition 2015, Warren Dosanjh (book and PDF) - David Altham and Pink Floyd, interview / article in Great Shelford Online, http://www.greatshelford.info/home/great-shelford-history/pink-floyd-and-great-shelford/david-altham, read 4 November 2020 - High Hopes - David Gilmour - The Origins of the Voice and Guitar of Pink Floyd, Warren Dosanjh and Glenn Povey, Mind Head Publishing, 2020
As these are primarily about the place (Cambridge) and period (1960s) and contain first hand information they are considered to be more reliable and contain more information than previous references. Some previous references may be redundant.
