thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Sour Times.ogg

message: Tracklist says that one of tracks "Does not appear on the U.K. edition".
Which one is it? --Amir E. Aharoni 15:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Does not appear on the U.K. edition" 

message: Perhaps a good way to reduce the Miscellanea section would be to create a Covers section, since there are several references to covers versions of the tracks. It would basically have the same bulleted listing, but it seems more appropriate for an album page. There could also be another small section entitled something like Other Appearances for the remaining bullets that mention appearances of the tracks elsewhere. The thing with album pages, is that they usually have lots of statistics, listings, and random facts, but I think it's more appropriate in this case. I'd appreciate feedback on this opinion... I haven't researched it too much in the actual Wikipedia guidelines, so maybe I'm being redundant. --DJ Phazer 23:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: For the intro of "Strangers" I believe, the soprano saxaphone effect, I do believe it's sampled from a track from Weather Report's Black Market. It introduces the song, not unlike in "Strangers". Can anyone identify this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CrowleyHead (talk • contribs) 19:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weather Report Sample 

message: For some reason there is a widespread but clearly incorrect belief that Portishead sampled Ike's Rap for Glory Box, but it's actually a sample from Hayes' version of Walk on By. The Tricky track is also taken from the same sample of Walk on By. Anyone who doubts this can search youtube for Isaac Hayes performing Walk on By. I changed this on the main page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.98.253.38 (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I've changed the composers of Johnnie Ray's "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" as it was written by him and is a completely different song to that by Bacharach and David. Ray's song was written over ten years before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.76.149 (talk) 10:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: How is this album only gold certified in the U.S. if it's sold 1.1 million copies there?

replies: text: Certifications are not awarded automatically based on the number of sales, in the US, in the UK, or anywhere. It is up to the record company to apply for a certification, and the sales need to be independently audited, the paperwork submitted, and the label also has to pay for the certification. Hence many smaller labels who don't have the finances of the major labels simply don't bother getting their records certified. And that's why certification is not an automatic guarantee of the number of sales, or vice versa. Richard3120 (talk) 21:30, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
