- Hi there, let's not have this sit on the shelf for months, so I'll review this soon! FunkMonk (talk) 17:47, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Full person names for Beck and Moon in photo captions maybe? Seems a bit esoteric now.
- Any contemporary photo of Jimmy Page that could perhaps be included under production?
- What are the dates for the events under background?
- "Although there is a disagreement about who came up with what" I'm not sure if links to sections within the same article are appropriate. In any case "easter egg links" are frowned upon.
- "but "Beck's Bolero" is the only track to be released." Was?
- Sometimes you use quotes, without attributing them to anyone, such as: Page is able take advantage of the instrument's "rich chiming quality to emulate the distinct, orchestral 'bolero' sound"
- Same with "built on a persistent, repeating motif supported by a snare drum ... re-creating the Spanish 'bolero' dance pattern for full orchestra".
- Same: The third section "suddenly set[s] off from the main motif into a beautiful serene section highlighting slide-glissando guitars",
- Same: The amply-distorted guitar provides "a thick-toned, descending riff",[9] which modulates through higher keys. The break, inspired by the Yardbirds' rave-up technique, "eerily presaged the coming era of hard rock and heavy metal".
- Why does the following need a quote Snead of just paraphrasing: may have been "involved in some capacity at the session",[11]
- Why a quote for so little: and replaced with several "cross-faded layers" of guitar effects
- Likewise: Beck "still lists 'Beck's Bolero' as one of his all-time favourites"[24]
- "In 1968, Hopkins became a member of the Jeff Beck Group and Page started Led Zeppelin with Jones." Needs a source.
- "Jimmy Page used it in the medley portion of "How Many More Times" How did he "use it", because he played it in the same style? The wording is a bit ambiguous, some might even think he used part of the recording itself.
- The part about Page "using" the music would maybe make more sense earlier in the section, he is not just a random cover artist, he may even have done it as a reaction to the crediting troubles, no?
- "one of the great rock instrumentals, epic in scope, harmonically and rhythmically ambitious yet infused with primal energy" There should be no text in the intro not found in the article.
- "then only as the B-side to Beck's first single." Again, no easter egg links.
