Description

Cover for the album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen

Source

Derived from a scan of the album cover (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 (CBS) or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Article

Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.

Portion used

Entire front cover, but 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.
