Samples of Glenn Gould recordings

One of samples was de-PRODded per Cjmarsicano rationale: Guild’s performance of the Bach Prelude is distinctive because of his playing the famous arpeggiated chords staccato rather than legato like most pianists. It is a prime example of Gould’s specializing in Bach’s repertoire. All of the samples are used for only the Glenn Gould article. However, Gould has been already known to readers as a "classical pianist". If a sample helps readers understand his piano techniques described in musical terms, then great. However, the samples are of recordings of century-old works that Gould conducted in a piano or an organ. Ah... just now, I found out he composed his own works. Maybe one of his own works can be sampled if necessary.

Meanwhile, regarding the samples, I can hear piano or organ performances. I'm unsure whether the samples associate well with what is described in text and whether they are needed for further conveyance and understanding of him as a "classical pianist" and of his piano styles. Furthermore, four may be an excessive amount unless I stand corrected. Either at least one of the samples must be kept, or they must be all deleted.

AFAICS, most (if not all) of the whole label portion of the UK 12" single is ineligible for US copyright, especially the Atlantic Records logo. However, I've not yet seen an image of the Cotillion Records logo in Commons, so I uploaded the image here instead of Commons in case of doubt. Both Atlantic and Cotillion logos are properties of American record labels. The Cotillion logo itself has a "C", a circle border around it, a very tiny shape (probably an isosceles triangle?) to make a tiny window appear like a vinyl's shiny reflection (or something like that), and a tiny dot in the logo center. However, I don't think the Cotillion logo itself meets US's originality threshold.

As "made in UK", the UK label was copyrighted as a "typographical arrangement" of a "published edition" for 25 years since its first publication. Yet I wonder whether c:COM:TOO UK still applies, regardless of the "typographical arrangement" copyright, and whether the label itself should be transferred to Commons.
