Summary

Original 45 label for "Jimmy Mack" by Martha & the Vandellas.

Fair use for Jimmy Mack

I (--FuriousFreddy) believe use of this image falls under fair use because:

• It is a historically significant image of an original label for a noted musical recording
• The image is used for informational purposes only
• The photo is important to the article because it illustrates the medium originally used to distribute the song referred to in the article.
• No free use alternative exists.
• The image is of a resolution greatly reduced from that of the original, and any copies made from it would be inferior in quality.
