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.

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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Hthf.jpg

message: The personnel listing seems to be copied from the CD cover, which oddly omits saveral important contributers, most significantly Dave Mattacks on drums. Maybe this was some contractual thing at the time. --Ef80 (talk) 10:14, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: After doing some digging I haven't been able to find a WP:RS that confirms that Mattacks even played on the album, though I'm sure he sat in on some sessions in addition to credited drummer Timi Donald. Obviously we can't add DM without a good ref though. --Ef80 (talk) 10:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

message: "is, reportedly, the worst selling album in Warner Bros. Records history" seems to me very unlikely, and places too much weight on an anecdotal aside in the cited review. -- Beardo (talk) 04:43, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: AT THE TIME, it actually was! Thompson took some twisted pride in that. Over time, with the growth of his and Fairport's fanbase and collectors, that has changed. Face it - in the U.S., a guy with bug eyes on the cover that was a pretty obscure name to begin with, wouldn't be burning up sales figures. :-) 50.111.3.17 (talk) 21:08, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: While it certainly didn't sell well initially, particularly in the US, I very much doubt it was Warners' all time worst selling album, and there is no good ref to support the claim. If RT has joked about this then we need a quotation with a ref. The implication that the album received near universal negative reviews on release is also questionable, and may reflect a US perspective which bedevils WP's RT articles (Americans didn't really 'get' RT until Shoot Out The Lights). --Ef80 (talk) 10:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That does sound like the sort of thing that RT would have said as a joke. -- Beardo (talk) 23:42, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
