[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Beatles.lovemedo.single.jpg

Image:Beatles.lovemedo.single.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] White/Starr cause

Session drummer Andy White (brought in by producer George Martin as he wasn't happy with Pete Best, and hadn't yet heard Ringo Starr) gave the recording a lightweight cha cha^[1] treatment, and consequently it misses the distinctive heavy drum beat that characterised most of their early music.

The explanation of why White was used is at variant with the more extensive Love Me Do session information but agrees with Martin's Summer of Love. Martin has it that White performed on the earlier session and Starr on the latter, which is born out here. The Love Me Do entry has it that Starr performed on September 4 and Martin replaced him with White for September 11. While Martin has been quite firm that he hadn't heard Starr until after he booked the White session, the sessionography suggests otherwise, so attributing cause should follow this.
