On second thought, those pics would be derivative works of the cover and hence not acceptable for Commons. It could be worthwhile, though, to have a contact point for accepting such material.

It could be interesting if Wikimedians around the planet uploaded pictures of themselves holding the cover. :)

Apparently the image is on the the deluxe boxed set sold everywhere,

It would be super-fantastic if someone could confirm that you can just walk into a record store in the UK and buy it. There are stores here that have it, I'm tempted to go get a picture of myself holding... and start a campaign of other folks doing that.
One fact that some of the media is getting wrong is the claim that the cover is banned in 'some' places. I can't find any evidence of this. Record dealers often call any cover which is changed or pulled 'banned', since it makes the records sound more valuable. The cover was most certainly not banned in the US, although the label pulled it amid controversy about the image.
