Love is Like a Rainbow ???
editMic Conway (in a personal conversation) and Peter Muhleisen (on the milesago.com page quoted in the article) both claim never to have heard of the album quoted in this article:
1978 - Love is Like a Rainbow / Slow Down Speedy (as Matchbox)
does anyone have more details?
- I've kept it in the discography. Besides Kimball, who has it released in January 1979 via Mushroom, I can't find any other mention of it.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- McFarlane mentions it: Matchbox released Slightly Troppo, which produced the singles `Sleep'/`Victims of Circumstance' (June 1978) and `Love is Like a Rainbow' (January 1979). see ref in article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- According to cover art, Slightly Troppo, has no tracks called "Love Is Like a Rainbow" or "Slow Down Speedy".shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Looks likely to be confusion with Leon Berger's 1979 single, "Love Is Like a Rainbow", on Oz Records (OZ-11812). Berger was later the keyboardist for mid-1980s pop group, Koo Dé Tah. I'll take the single off the Matchbox discography.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:44, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Mic's name
editThe artist currently known as Mic Conway called himself Mick Conway throughout his matchbox career. how should he be referred to in this article? is there a wikipedia protocol?
- I've kept it as Mic. I believe its the most commonly seen form of his first name, it is used for the artist's own wp article. see WP:COMMONNAME.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
