Alegrías by Howe Gelb / A Band of Gypsies: Wrong "John Parrish" in TiVo review and credits, wrong bio for A Band of Gypsies

Content you’re reporting an issue with

“John Parrish” in the album review is the wrong guy. This links to an artist of that name:

However, the correct engineer is John Parish with one “r”. He worked a lot with Howe Gelb / Giant Sand and is otherwise a collaborator of P.J. Harvey’s and engineered as well as played on many important releases:

Small selection:

The credits on the Alegrías album have both the wrong guy and the right guy included:


In addition, the review and the primary artist link to a confused A Band of Gypsies entry:

The review:

Links to this, which has a picture of the correct John Parish and Howe Gelb alongside Fernando Vacas of the actual A Band of Gypsies playing on Alegrías. The pic is not good because Parish and Gelb collaborated with ABoG only on the Alegrías album; otherwise, the band is a separate entity. Worse, however, is that the bio here is talking about a completely different Band of Gypsies that has nothing to do with the one from this album and is not the one in the picture. Though the “formed” says Spain, which is correct for Vacas’s A Band of Gypsies:

This is the A Band of Gypsies that is on Alegrías:

This is the other Band of Gypsies that the bio is talking about (and who are not in the picture of the entry nor playing on Alegrías)

Finally (hopefully) in the A Band of Gypsies entry there is a wrong production entry for Rozalla:

This was produced by a different Band of Gypsies:

The John Parrish in the Bio was fixed to the correct John Parish, thanks to Roon if you have reported this. The Band of Gypsies bio is still the wrong one though, so not marking as Solved :slight_smile:

Indeed we did. I’ve sent another email to TiVo as I think that they only have a single id for both groups.
