Garland

Is the "Not to be confused with Garland" link necessary? Seems kind of dumb since the term "Garland" has nothing to do with Cocteau Twins so it's not as if someone will confuse "Garland" as one of their other albums.

Title of first track

The track listing shows the first track as being titled "Blood Bitch", which I have also seen on a few versions of the track on YouTube. Yet the copy of the CD I bought some time in 2003 (at the HMV store near Bond Street Tube Station on Oxford Street, London, to be irritatingly precise!) has the first track with the title "Blood BATH". Is this a re-title (which I've seen before), a typo or something else?

Only ever seen "Blood Bitch", and that's on vinyl, CD and MP3. Are you sure? --John (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, absolutely! I've just had a look at the Cocteau Twins Website, and it's explained there. To quote it...

"Garlands was digitally remastered and re-released by 4AD in 2003. The artwork for the first pressing of the remaster incorrectly labels the track "Blood Bitch" as "Blood Bath." It is a typographical error that was subsequently corrected." If I'd read that earlier, I'd have been wasting my time, and therefore yours. Sorry!

Release date

Official Cocteau Twins website says the album was released in July 1982, 4AD website says 1 September 1982. Which is correct? Edo (talk) 08:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was announced in July, released in September. Ceoil (talk) 09:44, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
