Comment: Thanks for your submission! I'm declining this draft for now as there simply are not enough citations to establish notability, and it hasn't been shown that this work has satisfied any of the other specific notability criteria for albums. Also, Discogs is not a reliable source, and I'd recommend that you remove citations to it. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:00, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Background edit
According to Al in the Al In The Box boolet: "I remember when I was writing this song I'd go around to Wilson's House of Suede and Leather and Zachary All and places like that. I'd walk around with my notebook and look at various garments and scribble down notes. I got a lot of nasty stares from store managers."[1]
