Review: April 7, 2024. (Reviewed version).

Recording date

The liner notes to the 2002 CD release of Daydream write that the song was recorded in November 1965. The thing is, the band mimed and sang to the instrumental backing on Hullabaloo, which was broadcast on the evening of November 1, 1965 (source: [1][2]). This suggests that the song, or at least its backing, was recorded in October, since Hullabaloo recorded shows days in advance. I am not going to find any sources for this unfortunately, so it will remain WP:OR. Tkbrett (✉) 23:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there old friend. This will be a quick pass, just a couple comments. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 19:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Boone's initial inspiration for the song was remark he made on a date with Nurit Wilde," a remark?

Fixed typo.

Could we reword the first paragraph a bit? The song was written by Sebastian and Boone, but the first sentence implies Boone wrote the whole thing. Maybe "Steve Boone began writing "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice"..."

Sorry, which paragraph do you mean? In the lead or in the body? I changed "Written by" to "Credited to" in the first second sentence.

Tkbrett That's my bad I meant the first paragraph in the body. I thought the "written by" in the lead was perfectly fine. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

zmbro: Ah, I see what you mean now. I made two adjustments to the phrasing there. How about now? Tkbrett (✉) 11:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Much better. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are good. Was the song ever included on later compilations or anything like that?

I added mention of the more notable ones.

Copyvio detector is very good at 10.7%. I knew it wouldn't be a problem since most material here is book sources. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, zmbro! I am sorry, I did see it but I was on the road; now I’m away for the Easter weekend. I only have mobile, but this review is pretty straightforward, so I will try to respond to the comments above if I have time this weekend. Thanks again! Tkbrett (✉) 22:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Just wanted to make sure you got the message :-) – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 22:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Responses above. So sorry again for the delay, zmbro, I've been extremely busy lately. Tkbrett (✉) 01:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Made a few ref adjustments and added archives. We're all set. ✓ Pass – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
