Scan of the CD artwork from History by the band Dune.

[edit] Rationale of fair use

This image is covered by fair use because:

No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
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.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
For an article about an album, the cover artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way.
