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 the complex discography of Sun Ra, and to provide a visual image to help illuminate an era called in hindsight 'afro-futurism', one in which the visual presentation was a crucial element of Sun Ra's approach. The sleeve was designed by Sun Ra himself, and is a useful signifier of his intentions at this period. 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. none

Other information

The cover in this form has never been reissued since 1966, and is a historically significant addition to Sun Ra's discography and visual legacy
