Date of publication April 1, 1993
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Foss (band)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image will be used as the primary means of identifying the band. The image itself is also the subject of commentary for its role in the 2018 US Senate election in Texas.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The image is not replaceable with any appropriate free equivalent. The band Foss is now defunct, and while its members are all alive (at the time of upload), it is not likely that they will reunite.

Further, the image has taken on independent historical/aesthetic significance due to its role in the 2018 US Senate race in Texas. Even if the band were to reunite in the future and a free-license photo of the band's reunion becomes available, that would only replace this image for the purpose of visually identifying the band, but not for the purpose of accompanying secondary commentary on its unique historical role in the 2018 Senate race.

Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
This illustration serves as a primary means of visually identifying the band Foss and, as such, is not replaceable by text. It accompanies secondary commentary about the image, but is not replaceable for that purpose because text description alone would fail to adequately convey the same information.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Minimal number of items: This is the only copyrighted image of the band used on the page.

Minimal extent of use: The file is only used on the Foss (band) page. It is cropped from the original image scanned by The New York Times, and now shows only the front cover of the record, not the back cover. The image is lower resolution than the original image, resized to 0.1 megapixels per the recommendations and tools at WP:IMAGERES.

Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Wikipedia's use of the image does not commercially conflict with the copyright holders' ability to make commercial use of the image. The image is a low-resolution reproduction of the original; as such, others will not be able to use the image to produce unlicensed copies of the record. While the record is currently out-of-print, its use does not conflict with the copyright holders' rightful ability to commercially exploit the copyrighted work in the future by, for example, reissuing the record or licensing its use for some other purpose.

Licensing edit

Note: while the image is a record cover, it is not being used to identify the record itself. Instead, the image is being used for two purposes: (1) to visually identify a defunct band, and (2) as the subject of commentary for its unique historical role in the 2018 US Senate race in Texas between Beto O'Rourke. As such, Template:Non-free historic image is used rather than Template:Non-free album cover.
