Lead image[edit]

What's the point of a not-original album cover? Can't anyone find a jpg of the original album? Ridicolous!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.56.163.222 (talk) 10:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The image of album cover, File:exploresyour.jpg, is used only at Al Green Explores Your Mind under fair use. So can't also be used here. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:33, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not WP:RS. It's already mentioned in "Reception and legacy", but the source is a commercial primary one. Perhaps we need to add some third party sources. The FT might be a possibility, or maybe AllMusic, or this source, or maybe WaPo? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
