The use of this non-free image in the article The Lonesome Crowded West is fair because:

1. No free or public domain images can be created for this record cover.
2. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the record in any way.
3. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. The cover art is being used for educational and informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way, or deprive its copyright holders of any financial gain.
5. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the album.
6. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the album.
7. It is only a small portion of the commercial product.
