This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the album or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers

solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale, see here.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Sad Day We Left the Croft
Description	Cover for the album Sad Day We Left The Croft by Various Artists.
Source	Derived from original artwork (which in turn uses photograph given by permission of the owner) of the album cover provided by record label (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. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Sad Day We Left the Croft
Portion used	Entire front cover. Does not include back or insides of original artwork
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognized features.
Replaceable?	No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
