Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This four-frame animated GIF shows the four official colour schemes for the cover art of the Genesis album Abacab.
Author or copyright owner	Bill Smith
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: United Kingdom on 18 September 1981 by Charisma Records Immediate source: https://www.genesis-news.com/c-Genesis-Abacab-CD-review-s294.html
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Abacab
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To depict the four official colour schemes of a studio album's cover art, which was a creative decision by its artist.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	As a copyrighted piece of artwork, no free illustrations can be provided.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This will only be used to depict the different versions of the album artwork in the relevant section of the album's article through a ten-second, four-frame animation without any transitions.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	This image is of such low resolution that it would not be possible to make any unauthorised copies of it without degrading the quality of the image. The use of this image does not prevent the author from further commercialising the original.
Other information	This GIF was made using the computer programme ScreenToGif from four separate images found in the sourced webpage. All images on the site were of the exact same low resolution of 250 by 250 pixels. To avoid unnecessary distractions and prevent lowering the quality of the GIF, there are no animations or transitions; all four images were left as is and were arranged to be shown in an automatic looping slideshow of just four frames, with 2.5 second delays for each frame.
