Album Covers and Artist Pictures

I started with Yugoslav artists but will surely do it elsewhere when time permits. I have a simple policy: always try to find the best image of the ORIGINAL album cover and not of the many reissues. But, in the Admin section there is a rule that image should be minimum 300 pix wide and maximum 100 kb size. Strangely in the band pages when adding new albums, the rule is quite different: minimum 500 pix and max 500kb size. What is the right rule?  Dunno... But the pics are always resized to 300 pix of width so the first one seems more appropriate. OK, as precaution I am actually following this first rule - resolution between 300 and 600 pixels and file size less than 100 kb. If I find several similar images, I opt for the highest resolution possible and the image closest to the original (first release). Cheers.

I use to follow the samesteps

yeeah, thnx!!!

Mermaid Kiss (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4020) is actually a band not a singer, so here's a pic of the whole band send me for Jaime Field (guitar of the band)

And the pictures of the 3 albums of the band had a poor quality, so here's the 3 new ones:

Recently I have been doing covers updates, trying to find the best possible cover of an album so to replace the previous. I started with Yugoslav artists but will surely do it elsewhere when time permits. I have a simple policy: always try to find the best image of the ORIGINAL album cover and not of the many reissues.
