current	22:37, 23 December 2025	996 × 996 (1.16 MB)	Miklogfeather	Reverted to version as of 16:59, 23 December 2025 (UTC) The priority should be to use the version of the cover which was actually published in 1970, rather than 2009, for it to be public domain. In addition, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_album Template:Infobox album] advises to use the cover of the original version of an album when it is available. If you have a higher resolution of the original cover, not a re-release, then that can be used
