[edit] Sales tallies for double albums

could someone out there clarify something for me regarding double albums? I believe each copy sold according to the RIAA for a double album that is less than 100 minutes in length is counted only once not twice. someone on the Physical grafitti page keeps claiming that the album has sold half of what the tally is on the RIAA due to it being a double album.

[edit] The White Album to listen online (permission)

Here is the resolution: Permission to use materials related to The Beatles. Please, spare me from vandals. ID of the owner: beatles80@yandex.com - 95.31.124.213 (talk) 20:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC).

First, please do not accuse other editors of vandalism when they are legitimate edits. Reverting what appears to be spam is not vandalism. Secondly, unless I am mistaken, obtaining your permission to link the site is not the issue. You cannot possibly have permission to stream Beatles music. How many years did it take iTunes to get permission to sell Beatles music, never mind streaming it for free. Anyone else? freshacconci talktalk 21:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

The copyrights of most, if not all, of the audio, video and images found on the aforementioned web site are owned by EMI Records Ltd. and Apple Corps Ltd. and therefore violates WP:ELNEVER. This external link also violates WP:ELNO #4 and #11. Piriczki (talk) 22:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Album cover artist credit

I have added the album cover artist to the caption for the cover image. Per a current discussion at Template talk:Infobox album, this is being suggested as a way to credit the cover artist in the infobox, without having to add a new field to the infobox. one editor has reported having this information edited out when he attempts it. If anyone feels this usage of the caption field is inappropriate, and edits it out, i wont revert, but would appreciate them adding to the discussion, either here or at the template. likewise, if anyone feels this is an effective way to document cover artists, commenting here or there would help. I just want to be sure that there is a fairly standard, acceptable way to document album cover artists, just as there is for book jacket artists.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Singles

This section claims that the song "Hey Jude" was recorded at the White Album sessions. It wasn't. It was recorded prior, and moreover at a different studio. The White Album was recorded at EMI (Abbey Road), whereas "Hey Jude" was recorded at Trident Studios. This can all be confirmed by related wiki articles on the White Album and Hey Jude as well as off site references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.110.58 (talk) 06:20, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
