Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description The image file is taken from the front cover of the booklet accompanying the 2001 reissue of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album. It shows the imagined encroachment of urbanisation on the tree-lined landscape of his Friar Park home; it is the third in a series of pictures within the 2001 packaging that build in intensity from the natural environment depicted in the 1970 album cover up to this densely urban setting at the start of the 21st century.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) All Things Must Pass
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

The image file supports a discussion in the article's section dedicated to the 2001 reissue of George Harrison's 1970 album. As mentioned in the text, Harrison took the opportunity while promoting the 2001 reissue to emphasise an ecological message, regarding increased urbanisation of the environment in the 21st century, which contrasted sharply with the hopes of the era when the original album was made. The album's song lyrics reflect an enlightened, spiritually conscious path, and the inclusion of this image provides a suitable contrast between the natural scene depicted in the 1970 cover picture and the feared destruction of the environment, as exemplified in the 2001 series of urban-encroachment images by WhereforeArt? The ecological message behind the album's 2001 reissue was made through the artwork, and it is therefore a visual concept that cannot be expressed adequately in words. This is particularly the case as the 1970 album cover has attained considerable status (due to both the popularity of the album and the attention bestowed on the four gnomes apparently representing the recently defunct Beatles); and through the widespread familiarity of the original cover image, the ecological message is made visually more powerful.

Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The topic of this area of the discussion is official album artwork, and the image cannot therefore be replaced by free content. Nor can a free image be created since the landscape depicted in the 1970 and 2001 album covers is part of the Harrison family's private estate.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The entire image is needed in order for the illustration to serve as a comparison with the album cover. As stated below, the image file's resolution is sufficient for the purposes of illustration on the page only. Apart from the 1970 album cover and the 2001 colorised version, both contained in the album infobox, this article has no other non-free images; this particular image is specific to the All Things Must Pass album, and within that subject, to just the 2001 reissue – meaning that its relevance to other wikipedia articles is minimal.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Use of the file on wikipedia does not negatively affect the commercial interests of its owner, since this is an educational article dedicated to the All Things Must Pass album, including the 2001 reissue on which this image first appeared. The discussion gives voice to Harrison's ecological concerns from 2001, among notable points regarding the successful reissue campaign, and the image both supports and adds to this discussion. The file quality is sufficient for the purposes of illustration on the page, but resolution is not sufficient to permit copies to be made of a quality suitable for use on an unauthorised CD booklet.
