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. to illustrate an important album, and to provide a visual sign for a complicated discography, to help illuminate the 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. |

Fair Use Rationale edit
- The image is solely used for visual identification and education
- The image is low resolution, and unsuitable for reproduction
- The discography of Sun Ra is extraordinarily complicated and any visual aids are a huge benfit toward visualisation
- Under US law, the use of a low resolution image for educational purposes is allowed
- The sleeve is as evocative of a time (late 50s USA) as the record it houses, and adds significantly to the article as a visual shorthand for the record discussed.
