• Hi again, I'll take on this review. FunkMonk (talk) 16:53, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
• First, the leads needs to be longer, so that it summarises the article, it could at least be two paragraphs.

Expanding as I go along. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

 Done Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 20:54, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• Should "Gold" be capitalised?

 Done Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• The French citation 36 only links to a search page.

Added note in ref. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• The sentence "Lennon adds "It's all down to Goodnight Vienna, I'd like to say hi to Ringo, Paul and, George ... how are you? (and) Everybody back home, in England ... what's cookin'?" Lennon was still unable to leave the United States, because of his immigration case, settled later in 1975" seems a bit out of place. Why is it down there?

The "It's all down to Goodnight Vienna..." is a quote from the end of the track, the bit about the case can be removed sicne I've cited that further up the article. Should I remove it all? Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:36, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Maybe make it a footnote, or move it to recording? Seems a bit confusing where it is. FunkMonk (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• Though it is a quote, it seems a bit odd the sentence here changes tense, couldn't the quoted part be paraphrased? "Lennon had to "record three songs by Big Seven publishers on his next album. The songs [he] intends to record at this time are "You Can't Catch Me", "Angel Baby" and "Ya Ya", [and] he reserves the right to alter the last two songs to any other songs belonging to Big Seven."
• "Lennon was in Hollywood making a record, every musician wanted to be part of the sessions" I guess every musician there is meant?
• Why is Spector's coma "alleged"?

 Done above three. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 20:52, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• For a potential FAC, it could be nice with a sample.

Will do some point after the GAR. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 20:52, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• There is some potentially interesting info about a New South Wales release on the talk page:[1]

The closet (non-selling site) I can find info for that is this LP version with correct cat, but not called Rip It Up, and a CD version called Rip It Up, but no cat. What should I do? Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 21:12, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm, you don't have to do anything for now, but could e nice adittion if you find out more in the future.

• And that's it from me for now. FunkMonk (talk) 17:23, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
