Anonymity in ...Outer Space[edit]

I have two references that state the follow-up recordings, for Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space, were sung by the same three girls who did the first series. This article states that those second-series recordings were done by anonymous session musicians. Is there any way to track down the names of these second-series vocalists to support the claim in the article? I seem to remember reading an article about Cheryl Ladd stating that she was, indeed, only involved in the first series' sessions, but we could use some clarification. By anonymous, is it meant that the series didn't even credit them? Anybody with a copy of that on DVD? (C'mon, don't be shy! Tell us you checked it out from your local library!)

Theme Song[edit]

The list of recordings appears to be missing the theme song, which Holloway, at least, recorded. Was it never commercially released? If that's the case it should be listed among the "TV only" songs. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 22:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Weak consensus to move to Josie and the Pussycats (1970s band). No such user (talk) 12:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Josie and the Pussycats (album) → Josie and the Pussycats (band) – This article currently covers not only the self-titled album, but the band's entire history 162 etc. (talk) 00:08, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@162 etc.: queried move requests Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:12, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@162 etc.: This should probably be discussed. Kind of a unique situation given that the band is fictional and already covered in detail at Josie and the Pussycats (TV series). – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 03:59, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm standing by my original recommendation. The article, as it reads today, definitely overruns the scope of something titled "album". The band's history is a bit misplaced at the TV series article, so I don't think it should be merged there; and I don't really think a split (band/album) of this article is necessary. 162 etc. (talk) 17:56, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Josie and the Pussycats (band)" is still a bit ambiguous since the comics group is also a (fictional) band. Should we consider something like "Josie and the Pussycats (real-life band)"? -- Netoholic @ 07:50, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe Josie and the Pussycats (1970s band). I think this would clearly imply a real-life band, and simultaneously remove any possible confusion with the musicians who recorded 2001's Music from the Motion Picture Josie and the Pussycats. 162 etc. (talk) 15:48, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Josie and the Pussycats (1970s band). The article is more about the band, and is better titled and scoped to be about the band. This disambiguation, "(1970s band)", is good, per User:162 etc. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:15, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Post-move comment[edit]

Now that this is no longer an album article, how do we de-italicize the title? 162 etc. (talk) 15:54, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Italic stems from {{infobox album}}, so like this. No such user (talk) 20:54, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
