Purpose of use

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.The picture's presence significantly increases the readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding..Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.

Replaceable?

As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No free equivalent

Other information The Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia. Original US 45 rpm single picture cover. Note: original picture cover is printed slightly off-vertical. For all to know, this photo was not taken in Cambodia! It was taken by Neal Ulevich during the second uprising of the Democratic Revolution in Thailand in 1976. The first revolution in 1973 had been a moderate success in overtaking the state and demanding a democracy. However, the main student body involved between 1973 and 1976's had agreed to terms unacceptable by the Thai people. In 1976, another protest ensued, and this protest lashed out at the specific members of the student body who had cut unfair deals with the government in their own interests. This photo shows an angry member of the mob (most likely a student; and even more likely a technical student-they were rumoured to be the most aggressive fighters, using their right angle rules as maces) hitting a lynched member of the student body with a folded aluminium chair.The riots were quelled, and the government accepted to change its status and recognise a new democracy for Thailand.
