Fair use in Chill Out
31-second sample of "Elvis On The Radio, Steel Guitar In My Souul" by The KLF Composed, compiled and collated by Bill Drummond, Jimmy Cauty and Mac Davis. Source: Chill Out, KLF Communications JAMS LP 5, 1990. Copyright 1990 KLF Communications.

This excerpt illustrates The KLF's seminal ambient house album Chill Out. This and two other excerpts serve to give an overview of the album's scope and narrative. In particular, this excerpt contains the use of Graham Lee's pedal steel and a sample of Elvis Presley, overlaying a sample of rolling stock.

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 21:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
