Also, should the cover art of the re-issue be added? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:37, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Threw on a quick track list which looks like crap but at least the info is there. Wasn't too worried about formatting, just getting the info on there, and hopefully someone else who knows better can clean it up. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 16:37, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuietHere Thanks! Yes, we can work on the formatting over time. Hopefully someone else will weigh in on the appropriateness of the new album cover, too. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, adding the new cover should be fine. I've seen other album pages which use multiple album covers. Since it's a different photo, I think it's distinct enough to be worth including. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 16:50, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuietHere Ok, thanks! I've attempted to add the new cover, hopefully correctly. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:59, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
