 | whitewhale1965 Let's make it Better! Member since Jun 2012 12071 Points | Heroes vs "Heroes" all vinyl version of the LP say: Heroes see here not all CD versions are entered the same: see here and here I'm sure you'll agree they should all be the same. Personally, I'd get rid of the quotation marks version. -------------------- This comment ended up in FORUMS because it involves different formats. I wanted this to be a general comment for all worlds but there is no option for that.  --------------------Nope. One LP has the quotations marks as well: here |

 | Fokeman I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5031 Points Moderator | Having just perused the LP "Heroes" it seems that "Heroes" was the title of the LP as well as the track title. Both front cover and label have the album title as "Heroes" without exception as far as I can see. It may be the Heroes title was given quotation marks because of the otherwise confusion of having "Heroes David Bowie" run together. However there seems to be a very deliberate decision to use the quotation marks around the title and track. So perhaps we should follow suit? |

Yes, I think it should be "Heroes" in all cases. Here are a couple of extracts from The Complete David Bowie by Nicholas Pegg. Quote:
Like the album whose name it shares, the title is embraced by quotation marks to express what Bowie called a "dimension of irony"...
Quote:
(referring to Tony Visconcti later describing it as a heroic album)
The sense of heroism was qualified, however, by David's insistence on the ironic quotation marks around the album's title, which he admitted was chosen at random |

| Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2282 Points | Unable to delete comment (above) that somehow entered itself twice. I can't even delete this wiffle waffle that I've written just so that it's different to the comment above. I can edit the comment but can't delete for some reason. "Brilliant" you all know what the quotation marks signify here I'm sure. Edited by Lee Wrecker on 11th Oct 2020, 2:03 AM |
