Article

Beside Myself (Ray Stevens album)

Portion used

Entire album cover, as this is the only way the album can be adequately identified without misrepresentation of the image.

Low resolution?

Album cover art has been reduced in quality from the original, and is sufficient for identification purposes of the album. Image quality is inferior to original, and would not be suitable for pirate versions of the album.

Purpose of use

Section. 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. Solely to identify the album in question for critical commentary and identification purposes in the Wikipedia article. 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. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work. No free image exists for this purpose, as any other image of the recording would also be copyrighted. Any image not true to the original would not be sufficient for identifying the album in question.

Other information

No image of this album seems to exist online, so the only way the image could be made available is if I scanned it from my personal collection.
