[edit] Damaged speaker myth
Removed this paragraph from the Miscellanea section:
On releases of the album where "Very Sleepy Rivers" is stretched out to multiple tracks (see above), there are, apparently, somewhere in the 90s, extremely low bass frequencies (below 20 Hz, or below the threshold of most human hearing). These won't do anything on most normal home speakers, and were supposedly included by the band as a prank to damage the high quality speakers used to master the album. According to legend, the low frequencies damaged the particular Columbia studio where the album was being mastered.
It contains 'apparently' and 'supposedly' and 'according to legend', but most importantly the prank story doesn't make any sense. Mastering speakers can not be damaged by low frequencies. The "legend" is nonsense, as anybody working in professional audio can tell you. Besides, the mastering engineer would spot these "hidden" sounds anyway. If they're on the CD, they will not have gone unnoticed and they certainly will not have "damaged" a "studio". This is information of Paul Is Dead quality.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mercury Rev-Yerself Is Steam (album cover).jpg
Image:Mercury Rev-Yerself Is Steam (album cover).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.
