Talk:The Wichita Train Whistle Sings

Fair use rationale for Image:Wichita Train Whistle Sings.jpg
Image:Wichita Train Whistle Sings.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Tax write off or career move?
I find Nesmith's explanation of the album being a tax write off very suspicious. It seems an unlikely item to be a valid claim ("I decided to make a recored album instead of paying you any tax...!"), but extremely likely to be something he'd pay for out of his own pocket, with or without his accountant's blessing. His agenda seemed to run 1. join The Monkees, 2. take over The Monkees, 3. start solo career while still a Monkee, 4. leave The Monkees. Since Hal Blaine was interested enough to ask why he was spending so much cash, I can see Mike being reluctant to confess this was his escape plan. MartinSFSA (talk) 11:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense to me either, but that doesn't mean Nesmith didn't say it. Kanderso (talk) 13:36, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Sound of the CD
"which makes the sound harsh and over-bright." Many people prefer the sound of vinyl. Would the writer describe the sound of the vinyl in the same terms? If not, then why would a vinyl-to-CD transfer sound worse than the vinyl itself? Kanderso (talk) 13:35, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
