Where can I lease an acceptable photo of M-G-M's East entrance or the
Washington Boulevard gates to use on the cover of a privately-released
CD consisting of song demos?

And here's another from 1960, but who's going to know...?

This one is readily available, for a fee, and I presume is available
in higher resolution.

Let me know if that works for you.

o.c.g-ga,

Just checking in...please let me know if you have any reactions to the
photos linked to above, before I post the information I have as a
final answer to your question.


Cheers,

You can get a good shot of the MGM entrance from the photo collection
of the Los Angeles Public Library:



http://jpg2.lapl.org/pics07/00013246.jpg



The online version is only moderate resolution, but I believe that the
actual version that you license from the library is a high-resolution
photo.

The ordering, licensing and use information is summarized here:

This photo should fully meet your needs.

However, please do not rate this answer if you find you would like any
additional information.  Just post a Request for Clarification to let
me know how I can help you, and I am at your service.


Cheers,
