• ... that "Seasons of Change" was written by Blackfeather members, Neale Johns and John Robinson. It was recorded with help from local group Fraternity's John Bisset and Bon Scott. Robinson promised Scott that Blackfeather would not release the song as a single. Fraternity issued their rendition in March 1971 in Adelaide. When it appeared on local charts, label boss, David Sinclair reneged on that promise and released Blackfeather's version as a single in direct competition?

• @Didier Landner: Hello and welcome to DYK. This nomination's hook exceeds 200 characters; please propose a second hook below my comment, either by trimming the current hook (ALT0a: ... that X?) or by proposing a different hook (ALT1: ... that Y?).--Launchballer 23:14, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
• ALT0a: ... that "Seasons of Change" was recorded by Australian band Blackfeather with help from Fraternity's John Bisset and Bon Scott; after Fraternity's version charted in Adelaide, Blackfeather released their rendition as a 1971 single?
• ALT1: ... that future AC/DC lead vocalist Bon Scott played recorder on Blackfeather's 1971 single "Seasons of Change"?

Better, although a hook should be one sentence, and brackets aren't allowed (possibly move 1971 to before 'single'). We have a workable hook for this, so full review needed.--Launchballer 01:52, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - The sentence "Fraternity recorded their rendition of "Seasons of Change" at the same venue." does not have a citation. Please add a citation
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Cheers to @Viriditas for the drive-by assist. @Didier Landner if you can please add a citation to the sentence I quoted above I'll approve ALT1a. Note to promoters, the article scores high against Earwig due to a number of quotes. TarnishedPath^talk 07:42, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

I've added an AV cite notes reference for Fraternity's CD/Boxset: Seasons of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974 (2021) with its liner notes (giving a page number), where it states "Tracks 1–14 Recorded at: United Sound Studios, Sydney" Track 11 is "Seasons of Change" (single version).Didier Landner (talk) 22:57, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@Didier Landner thankyou. ALT1a approved. TarnishedPath^talk 23:47, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
