I just got this email, clears up possible copyvio issues:

Steve Took's Domain <steve.tooks.domain@ntlworld.com> to me, davidmantell2, Fee, fee More options 4:59am (19 minutes ago) Hi, (copy to David)

This is not in copyright violation on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Peregrin_Took as my friend David and I hold the copyright.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Steve_peregrin_took If you need confirmation go to the page which you've listed as the 'source' (http://www.stevetook.mercurymoon.co.uk/biography-1.html) and knock off the 'biography-1.html' to get back to the front of the web site. Use the email links to mail myself and David directly from the web site so we can confirm we do the site! (You'll see the two emails generated contain the same two email addresses we I've used and I've even CC'ed a copy of it to myself using my main www.MercuryMoon.co.uk domain address as Steve Took's domain is actually a subdomain of my own server space.

Also this applies to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Took%27s_Shagrat which I wrote before I realised I needed to register so it only appears with my IP address of 80.3.64.7 I got a message saying it was copied from www.stevetook.mercurymoon.co.uk/biography-3.html. Please see the talk page on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Steve_Took%27s_Shagrat

Love, Light & Peace

Many thanks Andre

  • Ditto. Sorry 'bout the mix-up. It's just that real copyright violations present very real problems. Welcome to the club. - Lucky 6.9 19:22, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lazza

Is Lazza the same as Larry Wallis? I guessed at this because I've read a lot of British books, but I think that for most Americans the connection would be incomprehensible.

Also, somebody needs to make this article NPOV. I could do it by taking out a lot of modifiers (like "frankly gullible", "gloriously", and "brilliant"), but maybe it should be someone who knows something about the material. —JerryFriedman 18:36, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Okay, I made sure that Lazza=Larry and did it myself. Maybe someone can smooth it over a bit. —JerryFriedman 21:40, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] TOTAL NPOV PROBLEM

"The duo finagled their way into the very heart of the underground, manipulating and seducing the stoned (and frankly gullible) audiences with a synthesised veneer of mysticism and elfin sagacity, which pushed all the right buttons."

The paragraph quoted above has been removed. It's totally POV.

[edit] External links

Could you add: http://www.cosmic-dancer1970s.piczo.com ? It's a great fanpage for T-REx and Steve with pics & info plus discography and lyrics. Thanks

[edit] Barret/Took connection

I think it would be wise to tone down the Barrett/Took connection a little bit mainly because "possibly" has turned to "propably" in (for example) the case of Took's participation in Barrett's infamous "Rhamadan" track. And information about Barrett's supposed appearance on Steve's 70s demos did not emanate from any Barrett biographer, producer or musician, but from US label Cleopatra records who used the information to sell a compilation of Steve's demos in the early 90s. Therefore I (for one) remain sceptical. And as far as I can remember the "fact" that Took recorded with Barrett was established roughly around the same time as the (admittedly excelent) domain stevetook.co.uk. After all, there has been a book written that examins the paperwork relating to all Barrett's session in great detail, and we still don't have a clue who plays on Rhamadan do we? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Larstangmark (talk • contribs) 15:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Larstangmark (talk) 15:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
