[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for Music (Witchfinder General song)
Description	This is the cover art for Music (Witchfinder General song) by the artist Witchfinder General (band). The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Heavy Metal Records, or the graphic artist. The cover of the single Music, by Witchfinder General.
Source	Derived from a scan of the album cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Music (Witchfinder General song)
Portion used	Image of the front cover of the audio recording. Portion reproduced is a small chunk of the entire copyrighted recording, which includes other cover art and the singles themself. The use here of the front cover image does not preclude the copyright holder from profiting on or marketing the single.
Low resolution?	Yes.
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.For informational purposes - to illustrate the article Music, which describes the single..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. Not possible; unique piece of art.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
