Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the section dedicated to the work in question, in the article discussing the recording artist
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	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.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is an album cover used in the article about the recording artist. The article has a section dedicated to this work, but no article is dedicated to the work in question; accordingly, all discussion of the work appears in the dedicated section of the artist's article. It is a low resolution image. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	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. The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
