"I Know It's Over"
Inaccuracy: "According to Johnny Marr (as recounted by Smiths biographers Johnny Rogan and Simon Goddard), the vocal for the epic "I Know It's Over" was recorded in one take."
Goddard's book doesn't say this, in fact it goes to far as to provide direct allusions to a slightly earlier draft of the lyrics ("icy bed" for example) - I Know It's Over's vocals as per the album were not the "first" take but one of the first takes. ToneLa 22:02, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The-Queen-is-Dead-cover.png
Image:The-Queen-is-Dead-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 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.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this review relevant? There's no critical analysis just a paragraph that seems to suggest it's the writers favourite Smiths album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.128.83 (talk) 19:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Cover me
I've heard ("Pop-Up Video", I think) Salford Lads' Club is on the cover of The Queen is Dead. U.S. ed? or what? Trekphiler 10:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC) (Not that I much care...)
- Isn't it "Cemetery" gates? James.Spudeman 19:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- There is a group photo on the inside gatefold of the original LP (an alternate take of this seminal shot was used in the CD booklet) taken in front of the Salford Lads Club. The front cover and inner sleeve feature Alain Delon, while the back cover is plain green. -- Curt Woyte (talk) 13:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, it is "Cemetry Gates", at least according to the record sleeve.

That was the original album art for this record. it should be mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.73.84 (talk) 22:53, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
