Weak delete - Vaguely remember this band and album, couldn't find anything beyond AllMusic and Trouser Press, too bad more print coverage wasn't digitized... Caro7200 (talk) 15:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The band and album where wildly covered in printed UK/Europe press (including NME, Melody Maker & Record Mirror) at the time, sadly those sources don't appear to be online. Missbarbell (talk) 15:46, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Missbarbell: there won't have been any coverage in Record Mirror... it stopped publication in 1991. I do agree that it's very likely to have been reviewed in NME and Melody Maker, and probably in Q, Select and Vox as well. But it's the same problem that many UK bands that predate the internet era have... these sources are not online to be able to confirm any of this. The band did get a fair amount of attention in the music press and airplay on alternative music radio, so I would not be surprised to find print coverage if I could get to the British Library, but as this is not possible at present I can't make a case for keeping the article... it may have to be redirected until coverage can be found.

Redirect to Prolapse (band): Barely found anything about the album. Could've voted for Keep, had coverage mentioned by Caro7200 and Missbarbell have archived copies online. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 04:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
