The photo has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above and in the unedited copy of the file. It can be dated by Taylor's recording history. He was signed to Warner between 1970 and 1976. By 1977, he was recording for Columbia. The Warner name and logo can be seen on the lower right corner of the uncropped version of the image.
