Begin with the source’s own compact description: “More (Mary Alessi album)” is album by Mary Alessi. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through More, Mary and Alessi, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “album by Mary Alessi” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6910876. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
