LP covers



Has anyone dealt with a request to photograph the covers of LP records, for
publication in a book?  I have a gentleman coming who wants to have our LP
covers copied photographically.  He plans to self-publish the book for sale
to collectors.  Some of the LP's were produced by this museum, but I know
some will be from defunct labels, or labels now owned by another company.

Would this fall under "fair use"?  Or will he need to negotiate copyright
with the owner of the label, and perhaps with whoever did the art?  And
perhaps whomever wrote the notes?

Thanks in advance for any cautionary tales/advice.
