Rationale of fair use for audio sample
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- It illustrates an educational article specifically about the song from which this sample was taken.
- It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and no more than 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
- It is of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
- This sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
The use of the excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the subject article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.

This song was recorded during the Sgt. Pepper studio sessions, the music from which, biographer Bill Harry notes, was "so intricate, complex and innovative that it staggered other artists who had been seeking to outdo the Beatles" (Source: Harry, Bill (2000), The Beatles Encyclopedia. Virgin Publishing. ISBN 978-0-7535-0481-9, p. 970.). One such artist, Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, whose own recent efforts had involved "revolutionary stacked voices, ornate instrumentation and state-of-the-art multi-tracking", abandoned all attempts to compete on hearing this song. (Source: BBC News Magazine (2004), Faces of the week: Brian Wilson [1]) Beginning after verse two has "seem[ed] to plunge the song to a deeper level of consciousness", the sample presents the second half of verse three where John Lennon's continuing vocal, accompanied by "the richer, darker hues of George Martin's trumpets and cellos", can be heard, "paced by the anxious palpitations of a backward cymbal track". (Source: Gould, Jonathan (2008), Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6, p. 383.) Words alone are inadequate to describe the song, and presenting the sound of this song alongside earlier and later ones is necessary for a complete understanding of its nature and its contrast with material from other periods, and hence of the way the band's music evolved during their career. |
