Article archive[edit]

i thought it would be valuable if any other editors would like to help me in creating an archive/links to various pieces on the web demonstrating the varied journalism of a number of music writers, including Morley. I was thinking about including the great writers of the seventies and eighties, such as Paul Morley, Simon Reynolds, Ian Penman, Nick Kent, Charles Shaar Murray etc. If anyone is interesyed i'd appreciate some help and guidance. Thanks. Ask me

In connection with single formats[edit]

Not exactly related to the request above, but I'm also trying to find some verifiable sources. I just read this biography on Allmusic that claims Morley may be "the person responsible for the multi-format/multi-part single phenomenon". I don't really know anything about Morley or ZTT Records, and the history section at single (music) is rather underwritten regarding that period of time (so any information that can be unearthed about this would make a useful addition). Does anyone know something about this or have any material to back it up with? –Unint 00:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. The ZTT label is reported as being the most egregious abuser of chart rules, keeping a single in the charts by issuing collectible editions and new remixes on multiple formats every few weeks. I don't know if it's verifiable that ZTT were the first to do this, although I think they were the most notorious. I've read that it led to some rule-tightening such as the 40-minute cap on a single's length (cf. The Orb's "Blue Room" 39m58s single) and limits on the number of items of each format that can be issued before disqualification from the UK singles charts. I'm sure there are references to back all of that up; I've seen these claims mentioned in multiple publications over the years. However I don't know of any references that would connect Morley himself to the phenomenon. Morley figured prominently into ZTT product packaging, but it could just as easily have been Trevor Horn or some combination of ZTT staff, for all I know.—mjb 13:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frankie Goes To Hollywood t-shirts[edit]

Unconfirmed? If I recall correctly the slogan ones had (c) 1984 PAUL MORLEY small on the bottom right at the front whereas other Frankie Goes To Hollywood t-shirts (for instance with a record cover) had (c) 1984 ZTT. Scatterkeir 08:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MySpace link[edit]

Is it really Morley? --Merovingian {T C @} 06:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that none of the top 3 links have anything to do with Paul Morley —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.96.39 (talk • contribs)
Well, I'll be removing the MySpace one until a confirmation is available. --Merovingian - Talk 20:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
