[edit] Kilometres?

Why would we say:

"Not only was it recorded in separate sessions, it was recorded in a geographic range stretching thousands of kilometres."

...especially, when the song is called I Can See for Miles?

Yeah... I know metric and the Who being from England, but still; they don't sing "I can see for kilometers and kilometers..." --Restecp 17:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

In my cleanup of the writing, this phrase got eliminated anyway. Just a matter of phrasing it more succinctly -- it's a nice conceit to note that the recording took place over literal "miles" but unnecessary to the actual entry. They didn't compose the lyrics of the song around the concept of its actual production, after all. StrangeAttractor (talk) 06:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

I did some cleanup on the writing of this article, but none of its assertions have been sourced. It would be great if the original writer (or anyone else) could provide some sources for it.... StrangeAttractor (talk) 06:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
