[edit] Summary

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered under U.S. fair use law because:

It illustrates the album cover as a means of identification
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the album or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute it.
This is a low resolution image.
The image is a small, trivial portion of the actual commercial product.
By its nature, it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted image.

Its use in the article "The Essential Clash" is justified:

The image of the album cover identified the primary subject of the album.
An image of the album cover is the only way to visually identify the album.
A freely licensed replacement image is not available.
The album cover is a trivial portion of the complete work, which consists primarily in music.

[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.
