If David Bowie's "Heroes" and Bob Dylan's "Love and Theft" have quotation marks around their titles in the Wikipedia article names, shouldn't we change the name of this article too?--HisSpaceResearch 04:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, anyone got any opinion on this?--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 08:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
According to Bowie, the quotation marks are part of the title on "Heroes", whereas they're not part of the title of Strangeways - probably they were just added by Morrissey for stylistic reasons (as he did on most of his solo albums, right up until You Are the Quarry).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Strangeways-cover.png

Image:Strangeways-cover.png 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 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.

[edit] Morrissey plays piano

Can anyone confirm whether Morrissey's piano part on "Death of a Disco Dancer" is the only case of him playing an instrument on a Smiths recording? If it is, I think this should be pointed out in the article. MegdalePlace 06:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

September 28 1987 might not be the earliest release date. The MusicBrainz [1] database lists an earlier date for the U.S. release (1987-09-22, United States, Sire Records) Nepthys 17:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
