File:The JAMs - Down Town (excerpt).ogg

38-second sample of "Down Town" by The JAMs. Written by Jimmy Cauty, Bill Drummond and Tony Hatch. Source: Shag Times, KLF Communications JAMS DLP3, 1988. Copyright 1987 KLF Communications.

This excerpt serves to illustrate the The JAMs' single "Down Town", exemplifying the duo's early work. Plagiaristic samples of Petula Clark's "Downtown" are juxtaposed with a gospel choir and Drummond's political rap.

Fair use rationale This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:


 * it illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
 * it is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
 * it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. --Vinoir 18:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
