ERRORS THREAD Report Errors and Omissions Here

An error in the discography for OHEAD:

The album "Decade in Space" is incorrectly shown as being released in 2010.  In fact, it was released in 2008 after "Gaia's Garden".  I emailed David Hendry (aka OHEAD) who verified it:

"Hi Mark, thanks for getting in touch,hope all is well with you.
You are correct in saying that Decade in Space was released before Dream State Circus and after Gaia's Garden in 2008. There was a mistake on the CD printing.
There will be another album out probably next year, I have started on some new tracks but am currently moving house so there will be a bit of a delay.
All the best to you
David"

OK, Test results:
The searching (amazon, ebay) for the album repeats itself after a certain amount of time - just don't know if exactly the 12 hours announced but somewhere between 12-24 hours.

So the objection Eugene raised seems  not to be confirmed.

But another problem arises from overwriting: the ratings (if any) are not erasable and are kept on the new album when they in fact belong to the "old" which was to be deleted

Conclusion: only overwrite if the duplicated album has no ratings (and no reviews, of course) - better yet, simply ask  an admin to delete it altogether (as Eugene advice).

EDIT: Thanos, siince the test is concluded gonna ask admins to delete the duplication (I see you have already added the Live one from FO )

^Are you talking about this orange banner like here for 2007?

I think that's something on M@X's side of things, us admins don't have the feature to edit that. Or at least I never noticed it.

Please correct the credits for the album "Visitor" by OHEAD.  The following were taken directly from the CD booklet...

David Hendry - Guitars, Bass, Synths, Programming
Al OKane - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
John Simms - Lead Guitar
Paddi - Drums and Percussion
Maren Lueg - Ney Flute
Tim Jones - Lead Guitar
Gazbot - Guitars
Spacey Rach - Sax

I'm sure of noticing it in the past, can't remember which year/s, but that seems to have been abandoned lately. Who's with me to suggest this to the admins ?

Is this acceptable ? (maybe in a smaller font)

There is an error in the Hawkwind biography. Quote:

"The Hawklords - 25 Years On" ('78) - This is a massive compilation of their best stuff.

This is not true. The re-release adds a lot of bonus stuff that could be named so, but the original album is a regular studio album, published under the name Hawklords because of some ongoing legal issues about the band name at that time.
