[edit] Is It or Isn't It ?

The article seems confused about whether this was a real album or not ? -- Beardo 03:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

-It's hard to define it. Young's official biography states that it was not an album but just an acetate culled from several studio sessions. When it was discovered years later, a mock title/cover had been made and it was considered a full-fledged unreleased album. This was egged on by reports from Rolling Stone giving Chrome Dreams as the title of Young's upcoming 1977 album, as well as an official looking document sheet (the one in the main article) that accompanied the album. However, Young's archivist Joel Berstein has statedk that the document is a fake. -- Hstfreak 19:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

At present the article is a mess - saying it was and then it wasn't. We need either to go with one or the other, or make the lack of clarity the basic point. -- Beardo 00:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I edited it to make it clear that it is an acetate, and organized/condensed the rest of the article a bit. -- Hstfreak 03:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
