Yes “Tales from Topographic Oceans” Super Deluxe Edition, disc 7    

I see we agree.  (As elsewhere before ...) I also value footnotes that indicate the sources and - above all - provide additional info (that would be of use to those interested in the finest details but might throw more "straight-ahead" readers off course and therefore is not necessarily needed in the main text). But what annoyed me somewhat in the Byas bio was that not so few of the numerous footnotes by Chapman (approx. 965 footnotes for a 180-page biography really is A LOT!) only served to indicate that facts and dates about recordings, gigs, meetings, personal events were taken from two overriding sources by a Dutchman named Hazevoet (a discography and a "chronology" that - without having seen it - must be something like the diaries/itineraries by Ken Vail).  This does not, however, tell much to those readers who do NOT own these sources. And in a book like this that is no Ph-D. thesis there is not that much need to show off over and over again that you are able to cite your sources in an academically correct way. A general statement (in a prominent place in the book) that info like this was taken from the Hazevoet sources would have been sufficient IMO. Most readers would probably give the author the benefit of trusting that he checked and reported the discographical details, dates and places correctly anyway.  (Though, BTW, depite all these footnotes Chapman here and there screwed up the timeline anyway )

Yes, I would say that he follows the same approach with verbatim quotations, hence listing myriads of references in footnotes. I am also an anorak with regard to including proper references and giving due credit to your sources, but in this case it may be too much for a ca. 200-pages bio. Both bios are very valuable assets, being the first full-length bios of Byas and Hodges, but both also have their lights and shadows.
