An image of the official front cover of the original version of the album (or a reissue, if no original cover can be found) should be included at '''Cover'''. Album cover artwork may be scanned, or downloaded from another site such as [http://www.allmusic.com Allmusic] or [http://www.amazon.com/ Amazon.com].
