Description	Single cover from Sonic Youth's "Death Valley '69".
Source	Derived from a scan of the single 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 or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Death Valley '69
Portion used	Front cover only. No other artwork from the single (e.g. back cover, inner liner notes) is used.
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the single, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the appearance of the single and identifies it by recognized features.
Replaceable?	No other image can illustrate the appearance of the single. Any other images would feature the same exact artwork.
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the single as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves
