(Criteria marked are unassessed)

Infobox looks good!
""(I Will Bring You) Flowers in the Morning" in 1969." → ""(I Will Bring You) Flowers in the Morning" for their album The Lilac Years (1969)." as this context is important and avoids potential repetition of the single release as that is the only other release of the song in 1969
"and decided to that" → "and decided that"
Mention Martin as a writer of the arrangement too per the body
Add what the music press praised about the song specifically
"a 17-year old hiatus." → wouldn't 17-year long work better than old?
"It one of" → "It is one of"

"an inspiration that eventually gave him inspiration" → This reads too repetitively; change the second part to something like "eventually led him to..."
"earliest prolific session" → "earliest prolific sessions"
Quote box looks good!
"Edwards signed the band" → "Edwards then signed the band" while starting a new sentence here since the current one is too much of a run-on
"the band and producer" → "Tages and producer"
"Although the original intention was for the band to record original material penned by the band's bassist" → "Although the intention was for Tages to record original material penned by their bassist" to avoid overusage of "the band" in this sentence, also if something was intended then it was clearly the original plan
"recorded for almost 3 years." → "recorded for almost three years." per MOS:NUM
"of the bands guitarists" → "of Tages' guitarists"

Img looks good!
The retitled information is not sourced, unless page 17 indicates this is in the Wrigholm piece rather than the online link for it?
"the B-side of Blond's debut" → "as well as the B-side of Blond's debut"
"before finally being issued as" → "The song was finally issued as" starting a new sentence to avoid a run-on, especially since the singles should be in one sentence together
Are you sure you shouldn't write the United Kingdom instead of Britain?
"were however praised as" → "was however praised as"
Last para looks good!

"A release in the US" → "A release in the United States"
"In the United Kingdom, the single" → "In the UK, the single" per this being past the first mention; if the previous instance in the section turns out to be a later mention of the United Kingdom too, please alter to the UK accordingly
"It dropped out of the chart" → "The song dropped out of the chart"
"as her previous two" → "as Black's previous two"
"it only charted" → "the song only charted"
Remove overly obvious wikilink on Ireland
Remove wikilink on Oceania
"entered the New Zealand top-ten," → "entered the New Zealand top-10," per MOS:NUM
Add a reference at the end of this sentence to back up the Australia position
The source only says Black's chart success fell down in 1969, not specifically due to the song itself
"she had a final" → "She had a final" as this is a new sentence
"only she [Cilla Black] could" → "only she [Black] could" since you do not need to add her full name when it has already been introduced
"All though Bell thought" → "Although Bell thought"
Remove speech mark after perfection when that quote was already ended earlier
"but that it offers a" → "while offering a"
Last para looks good!

The "fear of flying" and "fun obstacle" quotes are not sourced
The premiere being in West End theatre is not sourced
"She commenced in" → "she commenced in"
Remove overly obvious link on Stockholm, Sweden
"envisioned her her new recordings" → "envisioned her new recordings"
The concept album part is not sourced here, also mention that the songs were from the 1950s and 1960s per the source
"on the cover by Cilla Black." → "on the cover by Black."
Last para looks good!

The announcement sentence is not sourced
"reached the top-twenty" → "reached the top-20" per MOS:NUM
The Scottish position should use a ref name from the chart table to cite since this is just a duplicate of the same link
"and states that the Strömkvist's drum performance" → "and the Strömkvist's drum performance"
The routine quote does not appear in the source

Since the references following these are the same ones at the end of their sentences, I would suggest to remove the refs from here

Copyvio score looks very strong at 15.3%; the only high matches are things like quoted song titles
Remove the author as staff are not valid from refs 15 and 46
Ditto for refs 16 and 17 also wikilink National Library of Sweden to be consistent with the style you have used here
Cite AllMusic as publisher with the wikilink on refs 18, 31 and 37
Cite IRMA as publisher instead on ref 29
Remove www.flavourofnz.co.nz from ref 30
Ref 34 displays by default without any paid subscription, so please remove that tag
Cite BBC News as publisher instead on refs 38 and 44, removing staff author from 38
Cite Official Charts Company as publisher instead on refs 50 and 52
Cite Tracklisten as publisher instead on ref 51

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; glad to tick one off from the GAN backlog! --K. Peake 12:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
