This record sleeve shows the original form in which the World Record Club records were issued in interchangeable card sleeves with stickers. It is intended for use in the World Record Club article only. The image is made directly from the object by the uploader by electronic scanning in 2007. The independent company which used these covers ceased to use them after about 1959, and the company itself was later absorbed into EMI, which uses different logos, or uses these logos in different ways. Reproduction cannot damage the rights or reputation of the company. The purpose here is for identification only. No other means of supplying the image is apparent, and as the design existed only for about three years c1956-59, only fair-use can cover the non-time-expired copyright.
 | This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. |
| Description |
This is the cover art for World Record Club. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist(s). |
|---|---|
| Source |
The cover art can be obtained from the record label. |
| Article | |
| 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 |
Section. 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. Purpose must be stated here. 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. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work. |
| 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. |
