Michael warning[edit]

This article is fine, so I'm going to take the Michael warning off. Andre 07:31, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Track list[edit]

Any reason why each song in the track list says Alex is the lead singer? --Anthony5429 03:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...apart from "Tell Her Tonight". I'm guessing someone thought it would be a good idea to put that in, but it seems more sensible just to put something like "All songs sung by Alex Kapranos except where noted" as its 10/11 tracks he sings. This lead vocals thing seems more suited to a band like The Libertines with Pete and Carl sharing out the vocals more. -Ally 12:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Live at The Paradiso, Amsterdam[edit]

I feel like it is redundant to have Live at The Paradiso, Amsterdam after every track title on the live cd section, when in the header it says that all songs are recorded Live at The Paradiso, Amsterdam, so I'm taking them off unless anyone has objections.

Source for sales figures?[edit]

Do we have a reliable source for the total sales figures of 3.6 million? The Guardian spreadsheet only confirms the 1.27 million UK sales, as far as I can see.

Until we find something, I will mark the 3.6 million as "citation needed".

Best, --Georgepauljohnringo (talk) 11:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problem fixed, found BBC source. --Georgepauljohnringo (talk) 12:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
