Fair use rationale for Image:Man Colours.jpg

Image:Man Colours.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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.

Colored vinyl pressings

I added that this album was also released on three different colored vinyl pressings and the vinyl colors were the colors of the flowers that the figure on teh cover was holding. I know this to be true because I happen to have all three of those colored vinyl in my vinyl collection.

If I find out anymore, I will share. Thanks.Frschoonover (talk) 16:49, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Man of Colours/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article now contains an infobox with original Aus cover and alt cover, external review link, associated singles and length of album. There is some discussion of the album and related singles but more could be included on style of music and influences on fellow artists. Full tracklistings with songwriters and times for original release and for subsequent re-releases are present. Also substantial listing of personnel involved in recording the album. Album peaked at #1 for eleven weeks and has sold over 700,000 copies to be the highest selling album in Australia by an Australian band. I have recently edited this article and so may be biased.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genre discussion

The album genre is listed as "Rock, new wave" - which I suspect is cut'n'paste from the previous albums.

I would like to argue that two tracks: "Kingdom" (to some extent), and "Sunrise" (definitely) are progressive rock, showing the influence of albums like Peter Gabriel's fourth eponymous album also produced by David Lord in Bath. Bernhard Fabricius (talk) 08:43, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-random question

When this was first released, until it was passed (I believe) by John Farnham's Whispering Jack, was this not the biggest selling domestic Australian album up to that point? And if so, might that not be worth a mention in the article? 170.190.43.128 (talk) 18:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
