D as in Death - NOT as in Devil[edit]

I think it is important to maintain the correct reference to D in the song title. It is widely acknowledged that the D refers to Death and not to Devil. Further reading of the lyrics only goes to confirm this further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.115.148 (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the recent move to Goat's and back[edit]

please don't move pages without prior discussion to establish consensus - thanks. the album title doesn't contain an apostrophe, and the Wikipedia article needs to reflect that. Sssoul (talk) 22:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems a shame to only class as 'C' but the lack of referencing is a major problem.

Y All the start class criteria
Y A completed infobox, including cover art and most technical details
Y At least one section of prose (excluding the lead section)
Y A track listing containing track lengths and authors for all songs
Y A full list of personnel, including technical personnel and guest musicians
Y Categorisation at least by artist and year
Y A casual reader should learn something about the album. Cavie78 (talk) 15:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article requirements:
Y Start: reasonably complete infobox; lead section with overview of album; track listing; reference to at least primary personnel by name; Categorization by at least artist and year.
Y C: all of start and (1) cover art in infobox; (2) at least one additional section of prose; (3) track lengths & song authors in tracklist; (4) a personnel section including all musicians.

B: all of C and (1) most technical details in infobox; (2) technical personnel in personnel section; (3) no obvious issues with sourcing; (4) no obvious issues with readability, though it may not conform completely to style guidelines; (5) no glaring omissions of information (see some suggestions at WP:ALBUM) or extraneous information, like trivia.
Higher Classes are not assigned by WikiProject Album. Please review "the perfect article" and, if already B class, consider seeking additional feedback from Wikipedia:Good articles or Wikipedia:Featured articles.

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Assessment for additional information on article class. To request a reassessment from the Album project, when concerns are addressed, please see "requesting an assessment".

Tax reasons[edit]

It is a bit odd to say that the album was recorded outside the UK for tax reasons if some subsequent mixing, overdubbing and/or editing took place at Olympic Studios and Island Studios, both London-based studios of the time. 61.68.107.80 (talk) 10:56, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps they were hedging their bets with the recording venue, in case recording took a lot longer than expected? They could reasonably expect mixing to take less time. Harfarhs (talk) 19:39, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Wyman[edit]

If there is a reason by Bill Wyman was only involved with four songs - unless it's an error in the article - please insert it. Was it a conscious decision or was he unavailable for the recording of certain songs, hence that Mick Taylor or Keith Richards deputized on bass. 61.68.107.80 (talk) 10:57, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Train[edit]

"The song "Silver Train" actually was a leftover from 1970s recordings at Olympic Sound Studios.."

But was the recording of the song here made at Olympic? Or was the Olympic recording treated as a demo for another recording included here? It could be a bit clearer. Harfarhs (talk) 19:35, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Remaster/Reissue[edit]

The 2020 version was added in the article too. But there seems to be a different version, wehre on CD 2 (Rarities & Alt. Mixes) are thow more tracks:

Scarlet (The War on Drugs Remix) (feat. Jimmy Page) running at 3.49
Scarlet (The Killers & Jaques Lu Cont Remix) (feat. Jimmy Page) running at 3:15
