Description	Photograph of Spratleys Japs in 1999. From left to right: Joanne Spratley, Tim Smith, Mark Donovan, Heidi Murphy, Viv Sherrif
Source	https://web.archive.org/web/20120213230104/http://www.anyware.co.uk/japs/history.html
Article	Spratleys Japs
Portion used	This uncropped image is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	Yes. The image is degraded from the original photo quality. The risk of interfering with the photographer's commercial opportunities is very low.
Purpose of use	This is a historically important picture showing the original line-up of Spratleys Japs, a subject of public interest. The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the band, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the band, and illustrate the band's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. The image is only one of a few taken of the band's original line-up.
Replaceable?	A free image that would convey the same intended image and the same information is not available. A free equivalent cannot be created now, because one of the band members is deceased.
