Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: No issues at all here. Happy to pass. However, although cited and I think it's interesting, I suggest putting in an ALT1 with another fact about this album. The fact it exists is interesting in itself but good to include something else. Also needs QPQ. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Arcahaeoindris, how about a simple rephrase, "...that as a gift for his son Duncan, who was seven at the time, David Bowie narrated a version etc..." The gift for the son is the hook, no? Wait: that is ALT1, yours I suppose--OK, I agree with that, as a matter of interest, though fronting the gift and the son might generate more interest. I also think sticking in the son's age is a nice touch; it makes us think of Bowie as the father of a young child. Drmies (talk) 17:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
