[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for The Weight
Description	Single for The Weight in a slipcover.
Source	Uploader's photograph of record label and slipcover copyright 1968 Capitol Records.
Article	The Weight
Portion used	Single cover and label.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	For fair use on The Weight The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the single itself. The article makes specific mention of the single's label listing the names of the members of The Band, but not The Band itself, a fact that this image illustrates. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. The image is used in the article namespace. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; album and single covers are usually presumed non-free.
