Hi. We were wondering why the article Roger the Engineer is about the Little Games album by the Yardbirds. Are they the same? Danny 04:53, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Move to The Yardbirds (album)

I undid the copy and paste move that was recently done. The big reason was that the move was improperly done, in that the page history remained here. The second reason is that although the intended title was indeed 'The Yardbirds' it has always been colloquially known as 'Roger the Engineer' to such an extent that upon each re-release it has been titled as such by the issuing record company. A google, allmusic or amazon search bears this out. I think it would be more appropriate to leave the article here and make mention of the original title in the introduction. In the future, please discuss moves or other big changes on the talk page prior to action. (Please see the talk page of Ric Grech too.) I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but I do wish to express my disagreement with the move, and would like to see some other opinions. Alcuin 02:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy Page

Although I am unsure of Page's contributions to this album, I am quite sure that joined soon after, and does appear on 'Happinings Ten Years Time Ago' and 'Psycho Daisies', released immediately after this album and frequently added as bonus tracks. Also, even if he wasn't a member quite yet, it's still well within the realm of possibility that he contributed as a studio musician, as he did on countless other records of the era. Please support your removal of him as a contributor with documentation. Thanks, Alcuin 02:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Songs written by?

Who wrote the songs on the album? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.124.174.168 (talk • contribs).

As far as I remember, on the Diablo CD I have, all the songs are credited to the whole band at the time - Dreja, McCarty, Beck, Relf & Samwell-Smith. --David Edgar 12:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sales

Is this the Yardbirds most successful album?

[edit] Headline text

[edit] Over Under Sideways Down

2 separate track listings seems a bit cluttered, especially when one of them isn't even the title in question really (Think Beatles for Sale & Beatles '65). The defunct release is worth a significant mention, but the 1983 bonus tracks seem to be missing from two lists now, which seems wrong--that product being in print worldwide currently (correct me if I'm mistaken). Any thoughts on this?--Son of Somebody 07:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Over-under-sideways-frg.jpg

Image:Over-under-sideways-frg.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 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 ensure 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
