Help me identify the cover artwork on this wall I found in a photo of a bedroom on a property website.

#9 sure looks like one of those "Persuasive Percussion" type album covers from Enoch Light on the Command label, but I just looked through 750 Discogs thumbnails and didn't see it:

I thought it might be on Arista based on the white vaguely A-shaped blob top left.

27 feels like it could be something Grateful Dead/Jefferson Airplane-related. I've looked through tons of Hot Tuna/New Riders/Relix records and nothing so far.

9 makes me think rockabilly

Tempted to say 27 is "Ear" by Ng.

Sorry Moka no, there was only one image.

#27 drives me crazy. skipped through multiple pages of sky/cloud themed covers yesterday but no :/

Ha yeah I did this too, no luck.

i don't know if those two comments up a bit are sarcastic, but i for one am enjoying this thread and rooting for you all.

I'm starting to think EAR NG could be EAH NG?

I made this atrocity with Gimp and submitted it to Google Image Search with relevant keywords (like record, album, jazz etc.) and I got nothing. I did find some great-looking jazz posters doing that though.

i hope its just the room owners shitty self titled own album that they and their four mates party too and us guys are spending time trying to find

Are they 8 cyclists with big Chinese hats viewed from above, or balloons?

Here was my unsuccessful rabbit hole for #9.

I decided that the white blobs in the upper left said Al Hirt, and that the main graphic was 45 labels made to look like hot air balloons. Then I found that Al Hirt had released a medley of "We Can Fly" and "Up Up and Away" as a single, so I went through every Al Hirt album compilation and then album cover on Discogs. No such luck.

How did you find it?

I am embarrassed to say that I used Photoshop to cut it out, undistort it to square, then darkened the upper section to look black. That was enough for Google Image Search to get a fingernail hold and find some matches.
What else could I have used those 20 minutes for, though?

Fantastic. Kind of like that sleeve too.

knew it had to be 45 labels but I thought they were lollypops

Well done. I don't feel s bad now about recognizing it.

Kudos, Matthew!

Damnnnn

We need to find the person who's bedroom this is and interrogate interview them.

Well done. I don't feel so bad now about not recognizing it.

fixed.

I can find no evidence to support my hope that EAR / NG was a weird alternate cover for "Social Living" by Burning Spear. Shame

It's the seven we can't see at all that I'm really interested in.

AYO

omg

well worth the wait

that's a great find. respect! :)

metal sharks, not clouds!

well found! impressed that it looks absolutely nothing like what my eyes resolved the small version to

(blue sky, clouds, thought the tentacle tips might be something like a top-down view of a soaring eagle wing-tip, folksy faux-retro poster-style font something like Desdemona, twee as hell... guess I have an overactive imagination)

another one that seems not to fit at all with the others, too. pop-punk from 2007?

maybe it's not taste-performative decoration at all, maybe it's a message telling us where treasure is hidden IF ONLY WE CRACK THE CODE

Dayummm! Crystal Ball indeed! I figured it had to be a comp of some kind, but where to even start!

Wow, kudos! I really thought it was going to be another 50s/60s cover a la the doo wop one; the font looks completely different in miniature.

"Metal Sharks, Not Clouds" is gonna be the name of my new pop punk emo band.

Wow!

awesome. how'd you find it, nashawn?

nashwan, next-level!

it's his room

I didn't think a reverse img search would work but inspired by MatthewK I did an incredibly crude mock-up of the cover in Photoshop - literally splodges of dark blue with some yellow loosely resembling the visible letters. GIS interpreted it as a poster but once I changed the term to album I spotted the Four Year Strong record and immediately thought 'wow so close, it actually has the right colours letters at the end of the words but too different a font - maybe they have an alternative similar cover for it' - after a few more minutes realised the roboshark in the top right was a perfect shape match.

Then I got cocky and tried to do the same for the one under Badly Drawn Boy but the only thing coming up anywhere close is this Pentangle record.

this thread is heartwarming

Excellent work nashwan!

imagine if we used our powers for good

Wow! We live in exciting times.

This is such a weird collection. And if they picked the albums based on how the covers looked you can do much better (yet not as good as metal sharks)

CODE! TREASURE!

The completely hidden records are all ILX comps.
