[edit]

Derived from a digital capture of an album/CD cover. Creator of this digital version is unknown, however it is irrelevant as the copyright of all equivilant images is still held by the original party. I modified the original digital capture by lowering the resolution to comply with U.S. fair use laws and Wikipedia's non-free content criteria.
