It says this label was created in the late 1980s, yet Byrne's album "Catherine Wheel" was released on Luaka Bop in 1981. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.10.86.63 (talk) 10:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Because of the way the article is written I had concerns that some of the text may have been merely been copied from another source. There were albums listed. Does this mean the whole catalouge of every record published by the label was copied and placed here? They were all bolded instead of separated. I'm not sure seperation was correct, but bolding was not a typical thing in Wikipedia, since they were all names of bands, most of which are not in the Wikipedia yet, anyway. So, I divided them. I found the ONE real reference, in the external links section, an interview with David Byrne, about starting the label, and why. I'm really not up on record label Wiki work group rules. All the other "references" appear to be each artist's page with their albums from this label, all from the same one reference in external links.
Finally, I think a shrunken version of the label's logo in an infobox would make the page look better. Input? --leahtwosaints (talk) 16:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of the outside links go to URLs on the Luaka Bop website that currently shoot you back to the label's main page. 24.233.254.29 (talk) 22:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are a number of links in the article that go to the wrong place. Examples include: One of Jim White's releases was titled "Gimmie Five", but the Gimmie Five link goes to the wiki page for The Killjoy's album Gimmie Five, which is NOT the same album; Another is the album "No Such Place" which links to the wiki page for Peter Butt, who directed a film titled "No Such Place"... these are totally unrelated to the albums. There are a number of links like that. Whoever did the original page was a tad lazy. I will try to fix as many as I can for now. Bzzzing (talk) 03:33, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
