I am missing here a producer of such musical albums. I guess the Beatles weren't producers of their own albums. By chance I own one original of this particular LP.

It is written on it: Produced for records by George Martin E.M.I. Records Limited | THE PARLOPHONE Co., Ltd. LSPAR-70807 (PCS 3058) 1964 + Jugoton (former Yugoslav gramophone undertaking :) Best regards. -- XJamRastafire 16:17 Aug 22, 2002 (PDT)

Some of my disks don't list all the credits (yes, they're legal--part of a boxed set), so any information like that you want to add to the articles, please do.

How to play ogg-files? Patrick 02:29 Dec 17, 2002 (UTC)

I use Winamp v2 (I don't like v3, but that works as well, after a fashion) --Camembert

Visit http://www.vorbis.com/software.psp for plugins for Macs, etc. --KQ

Thanks, Winamp works fine. Patrick 03:50 Dec 17, 2002 (UTC)

Actually the All Music Guide gives this five stars. The three star review is for the truncated American version that is no longer in print. Syncrolecyne

Shouldn't the movie and the album be different wikipedia entries? --Samuel Wantman 07:55, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Second paragraph begins with "The album rocks.". Erm, while I concur heartily, this is an encyclopedia, not a Beatles fanpage (God knows there's enough of those...), and as such I am being bold and changing it to something less POV. Lost Number 03:22, 17 November 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. Shadar 19:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

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 03:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
