| Portion used |
The entire cover: 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. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but 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 of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. 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. |
| 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. |

| Purpose of use |
Appears in a section discussing the Beatles' influence on album artwork, as one of several aspects of artistic presentation they pioneered during their career. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is used as an example of the Beatles' influence on LP cover design during the 1960s and how their covers furthered the medium as an art form. The text discusses the creation and significance of the Revolver sleeve, particularly how the design reinforced the album-wide aesthetic of change and the reinvention of the Beatles' public image. The description includes mention of how the line-drawing caricatures contrast with a collage of photos as if the latter represent an explosion of ideas emanating from the 1966-era band members' heads, bound up in the long hair synonymous with the Beatles' public image. The Revolver sleeve image is also cited as an example of how the Beatles' album artwork provided the catalyst for record-company art designers to incorporate drug allusions in LP covers for their artists. Mention is also made of Revolver's recognition at the 1967 Grammy Awards, where it won in the category of Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts – the first rock album to do so. 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. |
