[edit] Recording Dates

Although Yellow Submarine was recorded in 66 it was recorded for Revolver, the start of the recording for the Yellow Submarine project started with the recording of All Together Now. The tracks were nearly released as an EP and eventually made the album with the film score.

It could further be argued that as Magical Mystery Tour was also recorded in the post "Sgt. Pepper" period along with the 'Baby your a rich man' and 'All you need is love', that the track selection wasn't determined until spring 68.

I think the point I'm trying to make is that the project was not recorded as "an album" but the album came from the need to supply some songs for the film project. Therefore the Yellow Submarine album's recording start date could only be taken from the earlist of the songs recorded for and eventually chosen for the project. simonthebold 23:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics Links

The following discussion was posted on Wikipedia's main Beatles discussion page, and appears to also be relevant here:

Are links to lyrics sites appropriate? I have noticed them in some music articles, and I believe they do add value to the listings. I added one at the bottom of the external links section. In the interest of full disclosure, it is a website I maintain. If the interest is positive, I would likely add lyrics links to other musical articles where appropriate.

My understanding is that lyrics sites reprint lyrics in violation of copyright, and that's why we're not supposed to link to them. The relevant guideline to check would be Wikipedia:External links, but that page doesn't directly address this question. I'm going to post a question to the discussion page there, and perhaps someone can tell us whether my idea is correct or mistaken. In the latter case, I'd be happy to restore the link myself. -GTBacchus^(talk) 19:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I posted my question Wikipedia talk:External links#Lyrics sites here. -GTBacchus^(talk) 19:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

If the decision is made that lyrics sites are inappropriate due to the copyright violation issue, I would like to delete the links I found. As a newbie, it would give me good practice in editting. Is that an appropriate action for a new user, and is there a FAQ on deletion etiquette? Shadar 19:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, we received an answer, and it refers us to item #2 at Wikipedia:External links#Restrictions on linking. It comes down to whether the lyrics are actually under copyright or in the public domain, and whether or not the site in question has the copyright holder's permission to publish the lyrics. If you'd like to remove links to lyrics sites that are in violation of our copyright policy, then you're welcome to do so. The best way to avoid offense is probably to mention the External links policy (or WP:EL, as we like to call it) in your edit summary. -GTBacchus^(talk) 20:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I can certainly understand that decision. It turns out I violated the self interest clause anyways, since I posted my own site. I should have recommended the change in talk, and then if someone agreed they could make the change. Thanks for the help with this, GTBacchus. Shadar 17:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I notice that there are also links to lyric pages on each of the Wikipedia Beatles album pages. I should have time to fix those tonight. I'll follow the above advice of GTBacchus in mentioning the WP:EL, and refer to this discussion on each album discussion page. InnerRevolution7 02:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I have made the above-stated change. InnerRevolution7 04:18, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sea of Monsters Redirect=

The search term "Sea of Monsters" redirects to this page. This needs to be fixed as this is a very popular children's book.

[edit] Neoclassical?

The infobox on the right lists "classical" under Genre. While this is true, perhaps "Neoclassical" would be better, as it's more specific to the style of Martin's orchestral score than simply "classical". Any objections?

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Beatles allyouneedislove.ogg

The image Image:Beatles allyouneedislove.ogg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:
