Source notes

Read November 8, 2026 for the album integrity audit with a plain HTTP client (default identity, no browser spoofing) and converted to text locally because Firecrawl's daily allowance was exhausted; the quoted sentence was verified against the saved text. Record of the Day is a UK music-industry news service that republishes press releases; the publisher's own site did not serve the release to a plain client.

Read these notes before relying on the original link: they record scope limits and later reachability checks. The link below may no longer show what was read on the access date.
