Talk:Pearl (Janis Joplin album)

Contradictory information
The infobox says the album was released in January 1971 while the opening paragraph states it was released in February. I've changed the infobox to February, but someone try to find a reliable source. Pele Merengue 18:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

If you open any of Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Albums books, Pearl will clearly be seen as having entered the chart the week ENDING January 30, 1971. Because albums usually didn't reach the charts for about 2 to 3 weeks until the entry date, January 11th seems to be the most logical date since albums usually were released in the US on Mondays during that time.

Fair use rationale for Image:Janis Joplin-Pearl (album cover).jpg
Image:Janis Joplin-Pearl (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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Who was Pearl
The cover says Pearl played the acoustic guitar on "Me and Bobby McGee". But who was Pearl? Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 23:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If I remember correctly, Pearl was a nickname Janis used for herself. Can't verify that at this time, but I'll see if I can dig something up next time I browse my friends' record collections. Rust Bunny (talk) 18:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Re-issues
the Article states, that there was a remastered Version for CD in 1999, and another one in 2005 (Legacy).

But which this was? Disogs list at the moment 229 Releases of Pearl, 11 from 1999, and 4 from 2005. It would be great if someone could mention the correct Versions -- 62.216.207.86 (talk) 18:30, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
