[edit] Fair use rationale in Sheridan's Guesthouse

This image illustrates the cover of the album or associated single that is discussed in the article.
The image is only a small portion of the overall product.
This image can be used to identify the album or associated single that is the subject of this article.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the album in any way.
The image is of lower resolution than the original cover.
The image is being used in an informative way and does not detract from sales of the album.
No free or public domain images have been located for this album.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the album or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers

solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale, see here.

This image is an album cover, sothen surely it comes under the fair-usage policy??
