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.

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
