Final comments and verdict
[edit]On hold, even though this article is short, I did notice that you have some reasonably good writing skills! --K. Peake 08:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Alright, I believe I have addressed your concerns, and thank you for the review!. Regarding the lack of information about...well everything related to this album, I don't think there is any more information out there. This isn't one of Raitt's bigger albums, and I think I've exhausted all the information I could find. Regarding the possibility of more promotional stuff, I don't think there is any more. Raitt was a touring machine back in the 1970s, and for the longest time that was the only way she was able to promote her music. She wouldn't even release a single until 7 years after she entered the music business. Famous Hobo (talk) 21:40, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Famous Hobo: There were a few changes you missed but they were only minor, so I did some brief copy editing and made the required fixes to ✓ Pass this! --K. Peake 05:32, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
