Fair use rationale for Image:Pete Shelley - Homosapien LP album cover.jpg
Image:Pete Shelley - Homosapien LP album cover.jpg is being used on this article. 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Singles
Other sources have the release date of the track "Homosapien" as a single on 24 August 1981, not September. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radec (talk • contribs) 17:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Lyrics Program
It's my recollection that the original vinyl release included a bonus track of computer code - a BASIC program to display the lyrics on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. I can't find any confirmation though. Wwwhatsup (talk) 09:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

No - it was on the follow-up album - XL1

Banned by the BBC?
This was tagged on May 2012, but just to reinforce this I have no recollection of the Homosapien single being banned by the BBC despite having bought the 12" single release new in 1981 in the UK. There is no reason at all why they would ban it, though it may not have received much daytime airplay at the time given the music policies in place. John Peel would almost certainly have played it - in fact, I'm sure that's where I first heard it. If there are no comments here in the next month or so I will remove this claim. --Ef80 (talk) 22:00, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
