Single/album covers with music videos?
I’ve noticed that some music video titles in IMDb include the cover art from the single or even from the album. Sometimes even a promo shot related to the song. Meaning, that the main image is not from the actual music video (they rarely have any ”official posters” anyway).
So, are the single covers (7”, 12”, CD singles) allowed with music videos?
Thanks.
( And before you ask - no, I’m not planning to delete any existing images. Just wondering that should I add them myself. )

There are several rationales behind such choices of image. First one is perfectly logical: many CD singles and albums contain music videos as bonus tracks, so that makes cover art a legit box art for a music video release. Second one is the fact that one way or another music video and cover art are bundled as a master release, of sorts. For example, certain charts might show excerpts of the video in conjunction with cover art.
