Love is Like a Rainbow ???

Mic Conway (in a personal conversation) and Peter Muhleisen (on the milesago.com page quoted in the article) both claim never to have heard of the album quoted in this article:

1978 - Love is Like a Rainbow / Slow Down Speedy (as Matchbox)

does anyone have more details?

I've kept it in the discography. Besides Kimball, who has it released in January 1979 via Mushroom, I can't find any other mention of it.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

McFarlane mentions it: Matchbox released Slightly Troppo, which produced the singles `Sleep'/`Victims of Circumstance' (June 1978) and `Love is Like a Rainbow' (January 1979). see ref in article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to cover art, Slightly Troppo, has no tracks called "Love Is Like a Rainbow" or "Slow Down Speedy".shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks likely to be confusion with Leon Berger's 1979 single, "Love Is Like a Rainbow", on Oz Records (OZ-11812). Berger was later the keyboardist for mid-1980s pop group, Koo Dé Tah. I'll take the single off the Matchbox discography.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:44, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mic's name

The artist currently known as Mic Conway called himself Mick Conway throughout his matchbox career. how should he be referred to in this article? is there a wikipedia protocol?

I've kept it as Mic. I believe its the most commonly seen form of his first name, it is used for the artist's own wp article. see WP:COMMONNAME.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
