May be found at the following website: https://www.allmusic.com/album/r490030 Derived from a scan of the album 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.

Deaf Forever: The Best of Motörhead

Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork

Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.

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. ==Fair use rationale for the article Deaf Forever: The Best of Motörhead==

I, Xnux, believe that the use of this non-free image in the article Deaf Forever: The Best of Motörhead is fair because:

1. No free or public domain images exist for this or any album cover.
2. This image does not replace the original market role of the album.
3. This should and most likely be used only on the article for the album it depicts.
4. 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.
5. This image meets all general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6. The image significantly illustrates the object of the article.
7. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
8. The cover 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.
9. 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.

Note that this does not claim fair use in articles other than Deaf Forever: The Best of Motörhead. If you wish to use this image in another article, please add a new fair use rationale below.. 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.

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. No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)

Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
