Fair use rationale for Image:Loureedtransformer.jpeg[edit]

Image:Loureedtransformer.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Introduction Warning Box[edit]

Hi, I noticed this page had a warning box that the introduction contained most of the information. I've created some extra sections for the main article, based around other pages on albums, relocated parts of the introduction to these sections, and will remove the warning box.Ethdhelwen (talk) 13:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing[edit]

The track listing appears to be for a vinyl album because it has side one and side two, the some of the times differ from the album I purchased new in 1972. My copy was purchased in the US in case that may be the reason for the difference. I am going to change it to the times published on the album. I would be interested to know the source for the current times. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mine (off Australian cassette) substitutes Goodnight Ladies for Perfect Day, so ends with Perfect Day on side two. Anyone else have this? MartinSFSA (talk) 09:05, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sources on lyrics and writing?[edit]

Does anyone have good known sources of info on the writing (music and lyrics) of the record? Looking to build a section on that out. Tactical Fiend (talk) 15:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
