The article ends by saying that the album is dedicated to Ritchie Close, which comes across as a non-sequitur - there's no mention of him anywhere else - but he is listed in the credits of the original compact disc version of the album as "musician". I was going to flesh this out, but about the only thing I can find on the internet about him is this retrospective blog post and his Discogs.com entry, which doesn't formally tie him to M-People. It seems he was part of T-Coy, along with Mike Pickering, but died in 1991 aged 39 of Legionella. I'm tempted to amend the entry to "the album is dedicated to Ritchie Close, comma, musician", but that feels absurd. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 16:26, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
