Talk:Hit of the Week Records

Fair use rationale for Image:HitOfTheWeekLabel.png

Image:HitOfTheWeekLabel.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 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.

While the rationale seems pretty obvious, none the less as this was published in the early '30s with no notice of copyright on the label, the label itself is PD-US in any case, so I have retagged the image so. -- Infrogmation (talk) 00:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Later Than You Think

Don't know how to tell you this, but I have a collection of "Hit Of The Week" records dated 1941-1942 - notably by Tommy Reynolds and his Band of Tomorrow - which were sold by Holyoake Plastics out of Holyoake, MA. I have no idea when they started and stopped production, but my guess is that the classification of the more usual record materials as "stratigic" during WWII made them practical again.
