Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free album cover true for Forming (song)
Description	This is the front cover of the original 7" single for Forming (song). The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, What Records, or the graphic artist(s).
Source	Rate Your Music
Article	Forming (song)
Portion used	Entire front cover to faithfully represent original design
Low resolution?	Yes
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. To illustrate an article on the depicted single. 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. Not replaceable by any free media that exists or might be created
Other information	Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: It is a low-resolution copy of a vinyl single cover and does not contain information from the spine or reverse side so it could not be used to make illegal copies. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell or profit from the single in any way. It is used to help describe the historical release context of the song.
