The actual story to this and the reason he's sure is there's a potentially legitimate question about whether they actually had sign off from the parents to use the image.
That said his relationship with the image is at best mixed and he's definitely profited from it.

So much stress and psychological drama that he’s re-enacted the photo as an adult several times. Case dismissed. Just a few times...

That said his relationship with the image is at best mixed and he's definitely profited from it. Yeah, the basic story seems to be that the photographer in question was a friend of the family, and took a photo with the parents blessing however it was not explicitly stated at the time that it was intended for eventual commercial use. Then the photographer sold the picture, the music label sent small compensation to the family and that was about it. So there is potentially something here, but it's likely a long shot for the dude.

He'll probably get some settlement since ultimately he made no money off of his likeness from the album but it'll probably come paired with an NDA aka you are owed something but this suit is ridiculous.

This lawsuit is compete rubbish. If he has an issue with the album cover he should have a long talk with his parents because they are the one who’s gave the consent for the picture to be taken. This issue seems to be a recent one seeing as how he’s recreated the picture as an adult on at least five occasions. He has the album name tattooed on his chest. So, yeah I expect and hope that this is thrown out and he’s told where to go, and no doubt he’ll recreate the album cover at the 35th and 40th anniversary like nothing ever happened.

If they didn't get paperwork signing away the rights for commercial use, they'll probably settle, the claims on top of that are to try and bump up any potential damages if they refuse and go to trial, and to get him 15 minutes of fame doing so.
Not sure he really wants the kind of notoriety that comes from getting classic album covers censored or removed, but here we are.

That guy looks way too much like Van Hammer for my taste.

I really should have given a warning as although it's a legit album cover it's still not cool. For those wondering, it's a naked prepubescent girl, full frontal but with a cracked glass over her private parts. And sorry about the user name. It was years ago and I picked something at random quickly. Didn't think I would be staying that long, but like hotel California ...

Eh, I guess you could have mentioned the album is called Virgin Killer, but it’s a real thing that exists.

I could have but that made it too easy to find and I'm sure the majority of people who saw it wished they hadn't.
