In progress—look for a review up early next week. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 18:58, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

• General:
  • Overall, article is stable, seems broadly comprehensive.
  • For as long as the article is (~5600 words) I don't think you need a four-paragraph LEAD here. The individual and specific chart performance, especially, seems like way too much detail for the lead.
  • I don't really get the numbering going on in the track listing. Even adding up all the side tracks before the 2015 expanded edition, I'm not sure why the numbers start at 76.
• Prose:

• • owever, the group still "languished in relative obscurity"[2] amid a growing cult following.—why are we quoting material without attributing it? Does this need to be quoted versus summarized?
  • At the suggestion of A&R executive Jeremy Lascelles—you have not explained what A&R is.
  • Given an initial budget of £150,000 (equivalent to £400,000 in 2018), rehearsals began on 16 May—I assume this is May 1988, but given there's been a whole subsection without mention to years it'd be best to restate down here.
  • Check your MOS:DASH usage—you've got hyphens were you should be using dashes, dashes in other places, double hyphens in others, and it's generally inconsistent.

• References:
  • Spot-checked statements to current refs 2, 3, 7, 13, 43, 49, 55, 77, and 87. Didn't spot issues with verification or close paraphrasing.
  • What makes Chalkhills.org reliable? It's heavily used, especially in lieu of proper attribution to the original sources.
• Images:
  • I'm pretty sure File:Andy Partridge comic book.jpg is a copyright violation, judging by the copyrighted materials the author has on his page. It should go.
  • There's not a very strong fair use rationale for File:Milton Glaser WOR-1965.jpg; we have the album cover, seeing a substantially similar inspiration that's copyrighted doesn't seem to meet NFCC#8.
  • Likewise I don't think you've provided enough of a rationale for File:Cynical Days - XTC.ogg and File:Garden of Earthly Delights - XTC.ogg.

@ILIL: Is this going to be worked on? If not I will fail the GAN. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 17:09, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
