G'day Ronald33,

Thank you for your question.

It would be unlikely to be considered fair use as it would be infringing the rights of the copyright holder. Unfortunately, fair use is defined on a case by case basis so it is difficult to be prescriptive.

According to Public Domain info:

Fair Use is not a set of laws or rules, but a defense to copyright infringement based on the following criteria:

Purpose of the use - commercial or private
Nature of the work
Amount and substance of the portion you use compared to the entire work as a whole
Effect of the use on the the value of the original
Determination of Fair Use is weighed by looking at how the work is used, how much of the work is used, and probably most important how does the use affect the value and potential sales of the original work.

In summary "There is little doubt that, other than private in-home listening and playing, Fair Use of music is extremely limited. "

Anyone seeking to post this album on the Internet would need to seek the permission of the copyright holders which would not be a quick process.
