[edit] Silence Kit/Kid
Just to be clear, this song is called Silence Kid, not Silence Kit, despite the typo on LA's Desert Origins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.60.119 (talk) 21:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Could you show proof of this? I have checked over twenty websites, and EVERY SINGLE ONE has it listed as Silence Kit. Rate Your Music, Amazon, CDDB (Gracenote), Pitchfork Media, Matador Records, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjwells (talk • contribs) 06:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I have a copy of the original album (not LA's Desert Origins) and it's definitely Silence Kit. I've never heard it referred to as Silence Kid in my life. Even if it was just an error originally, you can't just change history. The track list on the back of the album says Silence Kit, everyone ever has always referred to it as Silence Kit since the day it came out, therefore the title of the song is Silence Kit. Any argument to the contrary is flawed.
The info about it originally being a typo should stay but the track list should say Silence Kit because that became the name of the song regardless.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.188.153 (talk) 07:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merging
I don't think that the article should be merged, it is a separate record in it's own rights after all - 211.30.231.112 08:43, 12 June 2007 (UTC) ZEROpumpkins
- On balance, I would lean towards agreeing with the above, my reasoning being that the original album remains on catalogue as a single disc with the most recent incarnation being given an alternate subtitle distinguishing it from the original release - it is therefore a separate item in the group's catalogue. The thing that makes me feel they should be merged is that I can't see anyone searching for "L.A.'s Desert Origins" as opposed to "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain". Ac@osr 14:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- I suspect that the only reason the Pavement reissues have separate articles are because of the subtitles; which in my book isn't a good reason to keep them separate. Other albums by other artists which have received the deluxe treatment generally don't get separate articles. You can look at examples from the Fall (Live at the Witch Trials, Hex Enduction Hour, and others) or Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation, Goo, Dirty) to see what I mean.

[edit] Sesquialbum?
The article calls this a "sesquialbum" but the article on double albums states that it was Wowie Zowie, not Crooked Rain, that had three sides. Can anyone confirm? Cruzich 13:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
