This is photograph of a record album by Jimmy Day entitled "All Those Years " appearing in the Wikipedia article Jimmy Day (musician). It was recorded in 1975 on Midland MD-JD-10010. Artist died in 1999. Record label no longer in business.

The source of the image is a sale of the album at online auction by an individual.

The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the now defunct record label "Midlland" or the graphic artist(s) of this label. The article in which it appears is Jimmy Day (musician).

Its purpose is to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. 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. Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above The entire cover is used. Because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

The copy is of low resolution, sufficient for commentary and identification but much lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose: Infobox in Wikipedia article Jimmy Day (musician)
