GG -- Interview

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   It seems that an apostrophe in the title of Gentle Giant album called Interview is not only intended pun, but also a real name of the album, which is proved by the cover of it. The title on the album sleeve appears as In'terview, with an apostrophe, which leads me to the conclusion that it should be changed at the band's page.

What do you think?

	I see what you mean, but ..... the album cover is actually a part of an entry from a dictionary, so the apostrophe is denoting the stress point ...... notice also the initial "i" is actually ĭ ..... everywhere else it is referenced as simply 'Interview', even on the band's own website

	OK, I see the point. I didn't notice that this is an entry from a dictionary. Also, the (super) cover of the recent remaster has misled me -- the cover is just a plain colour (like in other GG remasters -- for example, Free Hand is black, The Power and the Glory is red, In a Glass House is grey, this one is light-blue), only with the band's name and a title, and the title is written as In'terview. You're right, the official website introduces it as Interview.
