Unspecified source for Image:(Just Like) Starting Over.jpg

I found Image:(Just Like) Starting Over.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:(Just Like) Starting Over.jpg

Image:(Just Like) Starting Over.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 03:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

jpgr.co.uk has the release date as 24 October 1980. I don't know if one of us is wrong, or whether the discrepancy is due to different release dates in the US and the UK. If the latter, the UK release date should take priority as Lennon was British or, better still, we should mention both. --kingboyk 18:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pitch lowered 1/4 tone

I'm considering adding this note, unless someone has an insight different: Based on the pitches of the song, and the open strings one hears in the guitar, the song was played in the key of A, and the recording was then slowed down in the final so that the key is right between Ab and A (based on 440 A). Alternatively the instruments could have used a A=428. One can assert that, given the popularity of certain technological tricks of the day, and the difficulty of retuning certain instruments to A 415, the recording was slowed down to achieve a certain sound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.9.146 (talk) 02:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subway sounds?

At the end of the song where there are sounds similar to voices over an intercom. Does anybody know what it is or what it says? 68.153.29.23 (talk) 22:58, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most of John Lennon's songs on Double Fantasy were written or at least reworked while on holiday in Bermuda in June 1980 (after sailing from Newport Rhode Island to Bermuda -see http://www.sailthechannel.com/john-lennon-sailing ). I don't have a reference at hand but John would ring Yoko in New York and they would sing the songs they planned for the new album to each other over the phone, the end of Starting Over is a re-creation of that.
