This is the tiniest little thing but still worth mentioning, the grammar nazi that I am (in foreign languages even, hah). In the artist discographies the formats are as follows: 

AMON DUUL II Albums (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)

AMON DUUL II Live Albums (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)

AMON DUUL II Boxset & Compilations (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)

AMON DUUL II Official Singles, EPs, Fan Club & Promo (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte, MP3, Digital Media Download)


Since it's repeated so many times I almost get the impression that the missing e is intentional, but it isn't a correct word without that letter is it? Then again, I googled casstte and got 29500 hits, so if it's a mistake it's pretty damn common one...


edit: And the band in question makes me think about the missing umlauts in many band names, like Amon Düül II and Änglagård. Clearly it's not a matter of the used font not allowing them, since Höyry-kone is spelled correctly...

Just a couple of threads down in this section: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59356.

Do a search before you post a new thread on the same subject. Wink

Maybe, while you're at it, you could change the name of that particular band to "Amon Düül II"?

"Maybe the Camaaaaarrgggggue?"


Talking about the umlaut, I just realized something: we have to check the Zeuhl section just to see if all the umlauts are correctly spelled... Dead

This was thanks to me (who posted original thread) or to him (who revived it) ? Just to be sure :- )
