"Recording" section[edit]

This section seems to rely heavily on Bruford's negative comments and anecdotes. Are there any sources for comments from the other four musicians? Whbjr (talk) 02:00, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Bruford picture[edit]

I think the recently added Bruford picture is quite in order here. But, shouldn't it be better to use a period image, rather than a recent one? I've looked a bit around the guidelines and found nothing there, unfortunately.--Gorpik (talk) 08:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Roundabout[edit]

That song is off of Fragile right? Todd4069 (talk) 23:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but they used a shortened version of it a year later when they needed a song for the B-side when they released "And You and I" as a single. All the other songs on Close to the Edge were too long. Then when they decided to release a small portion from the song "Close to the Edge" (Total Mass Retain) as a single and needed a B side, they used a shortened version of "America," which also had been recorded during the Fragile sessions.
