• ... that record label PC Music (logo pictured) has never produced a physical release?

• Right away I bumped up against the inability to source the hook. The article says "Its first physical release will be a 12-inch single of QT's 'Hey QT' released through XL Recordings." The reference is an article in the magazine Dazed & Confused. I went to the magazine's website and looked for the article but I cannot find it, even though I was able to see other music articles which were published on the same date, 11 September 2014, for instance this one about FKA twigs. I searched www.dazeddigital.com for anything about "Hey QT", about a first physical release, about 12-inch vinyl, about "PC Music", and about "XL Recordings". None of the articles was written by Charlie Robin Jones about PC Music on 11 September 2014, and none confirmed that PC Music was intending to produce a physical single. Looking elsewhere for confirmation, I saw an article from 9 September published on factmag.com which was an interview with QT, the two artists who released "Hey QT", the interview being mostly about the song. The article said nothing about the song being released on physical media. The XL Recordings website allows one to stream the video of the song as of 26 August 2014, with no mention of physical media. No other online source confirms a 12-inch physical single for the song. All of the references for the PC Music article have URLs except the one which supports this hook. So I am baffled about why this fact might have been selected for the hook.
  At any rate, the article is long enough, the date is suitable, the referencing is thorough, the logo image is in public domain, and I was unable to find any plagiarism. Binksternet (talk) 19:44, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

• I've reworked that paragraph to exclude XL. I think the editor who added it was referring to the existing digital download. The exact quote is "PC Music has never manufactured a physical release, yet puts out music with the rapid-fire of a pop factory, the ideology of the avant-garde, and the critical awareness of the best net art…There are big releases coming up: Hannah Diamond will soon present her next, fully fledged singles, and later in the year, QT will release a 12"." I'm not sure if it would be good to add the quote to the inline citation (or how best to do that, since the source is used 3 times).

Point well-taken on taking the hook from the only offline source. There are a bunch of weird facts in the article, but that was the only that seemed clear to unfamiliar readers. Is there anything else there that seems appropriate? hinnk (talk) 21:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

• Dazed posted the online version this week, so the URL's included now. hinnk (talk) 00:04, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

• Confirmed online source which says "PC Music has never manufactured a physical release". Ready for the Main Page. Binksternet (talk) 21:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
