Regarding the Love and Rockets article: "Ball of Confusion" is from the "Express" album, not "Seventh Dream". It's possible that it was a single released at the time of Seventh Dream, before Express came out, I can't say for sure that it wasn't, but the article didn't specify this so I changed it to reflect what I know to be true - that Ball of Confusion is from Express. I left the discography information at the bottom alone (even though I believe it is wrong - I don't have the "right" dates).

  • "Ball of Confusion" was L&R's first release, before even Seventh Dream.... See the official L&R site. I don't really know why it was put on Express originally, but on the reissues, different mixes appear on both albums, because there wasn't room to fit both on the first. I beleive the proof of that can be found in the liner notes to one (or both) of those reissues... I forget, I don't have them with me here. Folkor 21:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I came to the discussion page to post the exact same thing the parent had already beaten me to. Regardless of the business of re-releases, the text of the article was still misleading. The original album did not give them the original hit because said hit was not on said album at the time. Point is, Ball of Confusion was from Express. If it was a single and a minor hit (very minor - and this part may still be inaccurate, as I can't find chart positions and don't remember it as a hit), then that should be the text. How it was re-released later is only relevant to re-release information.
