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.

Isn't it worth mentioning the cover art is a tribute to Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2? 
Note: the cover art with that article is missing, but if you don't know what it looks like just follow the AllMusic link. The Seventh Taylor (talk) 22:39, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Following lack of feedback and new mentioning of an entirely different (but not really specific) album by "Gene Krupa, the noted jazz drummer who worked with Benny Goodman", I have gone ahead and made the change. Note that the Sonny Rollins album is now visible with the wikipedia article. For easy comparison however I've embedded both side by side here. The Seventh Taylor (talk) 01:18, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I wish people would leave this alone. This album was a milestone in digital recording history, and the liner notes reflect this. SO LEAVE THEM THERE!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.11.17.185 (talk) 21:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC) 

What you say about them album is probably true, but the liner notes are copyrighted, and as is made clear at the bottom of every editing page "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted". This will remain the case. The liner notes can be used as a source for content as long as only short quotations are used and full attribution is given. The rest can be paraphrased, but not too closely. Graham Colm (talk) 21:38, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
If you look at reference #4, it cites the liner notes as the source! I am sure Joe Jackson or A&M Records is going to come downon this site because their infomation was used and cited. It's not like you get a bunch of money for this. I can now see why many people don't use this site for infomation, since correct information is deleted. I guess this site is just an opinion piece, as cited facts don't seem to matter.......

I'll be remembering you reviewing this


### Infobox and lead
At File:JoeJacksonBodyAndSoul.jpg, you might want to present a better source than Discogs, which is user-generated; this one, which is from the External links section
Where is it stated in the body of the article that the album was recorded in January 1984
Length isn't mentioned in the body
Following MOS:LEAD, the lead shouldn't have references; rather, it should summarize the body of the article, and the body itself should have references
"Body and Soul is an album by Joe Jackson, released in March 1984.[3] The album was Jackson's seventh studio album, and his first fully digital project. In the UK it peaked at No. 14," > "Body and Soul is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter Joe Jackson, released on 14 March 1984 by A&M Records. Jackson's first fully digital project, it peaked at No. 14 in the UK,"
The Professional ratings template should be after the first paragraph of Release and reception, and "Allmusic" should be "AllMusic"


### Production
Retitle to Background and production
"first discussing it over sushi" – why is it relevant to mention that they were eating sushi, and what exactly does this sentence mean? Were they discussing it while they were eating sushi (which would be "first discussing it while eating sushi"), or did the discussion have a higher priority than the sushi they were eating (which would be "first discussing it rather than discussing the sushi they were eating")?
"the soundtrack of Mike's Murder," > the soundtrack of Mike's Murder,


### Release and reception
"The album was" > "Body and Soul was"
Where is Body and Soul mentioned at ref 13
"Shewey was less impressed with the" > "However, the writer was less positive regarding the"
"which sounded to him like an Elvis Costello track from the Get Happy!! project (1980)." > "which he compared to musician Elvis Costello's tracks from the album Get Happy!! (1980)."
"Shewey thought Jackson's [...] was "a bracing," > "Shewey praised Jackson's [...] for its "bracing,"
"published a glowing review, characterizing" > "characterized" for neutrality
"On the other hand," – this is possibly a cliché, so change it to "However,"


### Musical style
This section should be before Release and reception
File:Joe Jackson - 1984 - Loisaida sample.mp3 has a good-looking rationale
"an alcoholic attorney making good." – making good? What does that mean


### Track listing
Looks good


### Personnel
Needs a source


### Charts
The refs should be alongside the numbers, not the chart names


### References
Copyvio score looks ok
Cite AllMusic as publisher on ref 1
Replace Allmusic.com on ref 5 with AllMusic
On ref 12, change Grammy.com to Grammy and cite it as publisher
Cite Official Charts as publisher on ref 13


### External links
Looks good


### Overall
 On hold for now:

The article does have its amount of problems but is still close to GA. Wetrorave (talk) 14:53, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay I have performed a bunch of fixes. Sushi removed, refs shifted from lead paragraph to body, some text added to body to satisfy LEAD. I beefed up the touring paragraph and gave it its own section. I moved discussion of the artwork down into its own section and expanded it somewhat. I think "making good" is can be kept: it appears in the dictionary.[2]
How we lookin' now? Binksternet (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
It's lookin' good now Binksternet, and there's additional changes too. Seems like a nice  Pass to me. Wetrorave (talk) 04:17, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that the author of the liner notes is not mentioned anywhere on the original album. If the name of the author is known, it would be informative to add it to the article. 2001:985:CA4:1:3C5B:B193:899A:4773 (talk) 12:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

It's there already. The liner notes are referenced to:
David Kershenbaum (February 1984). Body and Soul (CD liner notes). A&M Records. A&M CD5000.
Hope that helps. Binksternet (talk) 14:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
