[edit] Is Ricochet a "live" album?

There's some debate about whether or not Ricochet qualifies as a "live" album. Although assembled from live recordings made during the band's 1975 European Tour, Ricochet differs heavily from the original recordings due to editing, overdubbing, and additional effects. Thus some fans argue that Ricochet was really composed in the studio rather than on stage and should not be called "live". Most sources, however, still refer to it as a live album:

So far I haven't been able to find a single source that doesn't refer to the album as "live". I'm afraid objecting to this classification would amount to original research, at least until other sites also change how they classify the album. Kaldari 22:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Source material

From the liner notes to The Bootleg Box Set Vol 1:
"The Fairfield Halls in Croydon played host to the band on October 23, 1975... The 1975 official live album Ricochet was partly recorded here and some of the themes from that album are easily discernable."
