Low resolution?

Replaceable?

No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork).

Other information

Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

The image is iconic, one of the first psychedelic album covers from a UK band and only the second time EMI allowed an act to contract outside artwork for an album jacket.(Roberts, James. Hipgnotic Suggestion. Frieze.) The psychedelic nature and the provenance of the cover is explicitly discussed in the article, and these details could not be readily understood without being able to see the cover. The ability to view the image specifically explicates elements of the article, including how the cover's psychedelic nature was not only a fairly novel one, but it was also complementary to the musical content. (Blake, Mark (2008). Comfortably Numb—The Inside Story of Pink Floyd. Da Capo Press. ISBN 978-0-306-81752-6. p.127–128)

In the general context of the article, it also shows the cultural impact of their visual style and its transformations throughout their career as an important element of the band's significance. (Source: Blake, ibid, pp. 127–129)..

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.

Other information

Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above.
