I‘m didn’t find anything in the rules concerning photos of your own albums from your collection or showing front and back cover in one picture. Maybe this post can start a discussion about it.
- I think photos are ok, if they are decently cropped.
- I think the back cover oftentimes is part of the artwork and should be allowed.
- I think inside covers of douple LPs/gatefolds should also be allowed. Maybe with an addition to the title like: [Rock] Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue[inside] - (1977)
The actual cover art of the CD release is only the middle right part of this image as indicated by the creases. This is the artwork you get by fully unfolding the booklet, but I don't think it's big enough to call it a poster.
Other qualityThis version has a smaller resolution, but a larger file size. I'm not sure if it is just compressed less or something, but my eyes can't tell the difference. If yours can, then this is for you:
one of my favourite albums and contender for one of the most beautiful ever recorded, imo. Some further info on the cover, including a picture of them recreating the image for its 40th anniversary
