""When the second album came round, the label said, 'Listen, we're not going to do this group any more if you don't do it.'" Higgins explained." → "Higgin's explained that Polydor were not going to continue with the group's contract unless he produced songs for the album" (Apply this to "Love Machine", it escaped my eyes).

So, that's how we took it on." → He continued, saying that his initial reaction was that he thought he would only be required to produce a couple of songs, however Polydor insisted that he produce the album in its entirety and that they thought only he understood what they wanted." (Apply this to "Love Machine").

There is no commentary on the alternate cover, so it needs to go.

Critical reception

As I said above, make a Composition section. Or if you feel that both sections would be too short, rename it simply to "Composition and critical reception". And then put the audio file here.

Chart performance

Pretty short, I'd just move it to the Charts section above the table and have it all as one section.
