Chris Blackwell, who was the owner of Island Records, the label Robert Palmer was signed to from 1974 to 1989, quoted in 1987 "In my opinion, Geraldine Edwards sold as many copies of Pressure Drop as did Robert Palmer.

No, that was not the case. Blackwell and Palmer did not only get along well in the creative vernacular, but they were close personal friends as well. Robert Palmer was introduced to Chris Blackwell by his good friend Jack Bruce prior to being signed to Island Records. Shortly thereafter Blackwell signed the group Vinegar Joe to Island Records of which Palmer was a member. When Palmer left Island Records in 1994 to sign with EMI Records, the decision was strictly business, not personal. EMI was able to offer Palmer a more lucrative contract, and he took them up on their offer. Palmer and Blackwell remained close friends until Palmer's death in September of 2003.

What is the story behind the Wikipedia editor who was convicted of internet harassment against Geraldine Edwards the inspiration for penny lane in almost famous and Robert palmers fiancee?
It is true that Geraldine Edwards, now Geraldine Flemming-Mueller, she's been married for over eight years now to her husband Anthony Flemming-Mueller, was attacked via the Internet by a Wikipedia editor whom I am unable to name due to legal reasons, however his Wikipedia handle begins with B. The background story is that this Wikipedia editor launched an Internet assault and smear campaign against Geraldine Flemming-Mueller, making both violent and pornographic comments about her, and creating three websites attacking her in an illegal manner. The malignant attacks were traced back to a Wikipedia editor who lives in Oakland, and a friend of Mary Ambrose, who was a former girlfriend of Robert Palmer. Geraldine Edwards was Robert Palmer's fiancee at the time of his death. Although Geraldine Flemming-Mueller has never met Mary Ambrose, Ambrose has launched personal attacks on her over the years. This time she launched an attack against Geraldine Flemming-Mueller through her friend of over two years, this Wikipedia editor. When the attacks were traced back to this Oakland Wikipedia editor, he was arrested and questioned. He freely admitted when interviewed by the police that he and Mary Ambrose had decided that Geraldine Edwards had to be 'taken down a peg' and 'put in her place.' He didn't understand that his actions were illegal and argued the point with the police. He explained that he had met with Mary Ambrose in San Francisco, where she was visiting at the time, on several occassions between late November and early December 2013 to plan their actions towards Geraldine Flemming-Mueller, once again citing that there was nothing illegal in his actions. His and Ambrose's motivation in doing this, according to this Wikipedia editor was to teach 'this arrogant woman what the world really thinks of her.' When Mary Ambrose was contacted at the residence of her boyfriend, whom financially supports her, and whom she lives with, to inquire about the situation, she denied knowing this Wikipeida editor altogether. When the police advised her that they had in their possession time stamped photos of herself and the Wikipedia editor taken in San Francisco taken between late November and early December of 2013, as well as records of texts, voicemails, and phone calls she made to him, she then admitted that 'I guess I might know him, but we're not friends.' According to all reports, the emails she made to this man were clearcut in their malignant intentions towards Geraldine Flemming-Mueller. Regardless of this, Mary Ambrose insisted that she had nothing to do with the internet attack on Geraldine Edwards, and that this Wikipedia editor had acted on his own. In short, she hung him out to dry. This man also refused to believe that Mary Ambrose had initially denied knowledge of him, saying 'Untrue. Mary and I are the very best of friends. She would never say that about me. No way. I spoke with her yesterday for over twenty minutes.' He then accessed his phone log showing this to be true. He was charged and convicted of Internet Slander and Defamaion, as well as Internet Obscentiy. He was put on parole for two years, although he will serve no time behind bars due to the fact that he has no prior convictions, in addition to being given court ordered therapy. Insomuch as he has been diagnosed with a bona fide mental disorder ascertained by the Pschological Evalutation her underwent, in conjunction with the hostile actions he demonstrated towards Geraldine Flemming-Mueller, a TRO had been granted to Tony and Geraldine Flemming-Mueller that orders this Wikipeida editor to stay 5000 yards away from them at all times.
