Quotes from 2003

Quote:

There is also a secret track "Password", played by rewinding past the beginning of the CD.

Interesting, I was unable to find this secret track. More instructions??

I start the CD playing on track 1, spinning around, after i hear the song play i press and hold the rewind button. the counter rewinds to zero and then starts to count up again. after 3:50 i let go and password starts playing.

I doesn't work on PC's, and perhaps different versions of the album don't contain it. My version is the UK version

nah, it just just stopped at 0:00 oh well, I guess it's not on the Canadian version. :( Earl Andrew 21:54, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

i seem to recal that in the german and spanish versions, the bonus track comes at the end of the cd. try that

How does that work? do I have to fast forward it? Earl Andrew 22:08, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

'fraid I don't know

Ok, thanks anyways. I found the lyrics for it on the net, but was unable to find it on Grokster, and found little information about it on google. And, thanks for all your Kylie related work :-D Earl Andrew 22:18, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is a recent GA, long enough and well sourced. Earwig is not picking up any copyvio (except quotes and titles). qpq is done. All the hooks are interesting and mostly cited. The 12 year gap between Kylie's debut album and Light Years isn't technically mentioned the source but that's really more of a basic fact than anything (it's pretty self-explanatory that 2000 was 12 years after 1988).
