Can you identify any/all of the albums in the photo on the back cover of DJ Shadow, Endtroducing?

You may need to dig out your CD or LP to see anything useful. Or you may just need to mock me for such a lame question.

Let's Dance
something by Benny Carter (going by the name)
BeeGees?
The Byrds?
Tracy Chapman (yellow with hair)
Walk Like an Egyptian 12"

Hongroe - The Pimpslap LP

There's a cat! Never seen that before.

b&W on far left 3rd down from top = The Cake LP (girl group 60's kinda stuff)

Foetus 12" is "Wash"/"Slog" I think.

Sgt. Pepper, John Coltrane's Ballads, Miles Davis' Quiet Nights.

Is that Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die on the far left in back?

ooh - i think i see Enya (the one with Orinoco Flow) to the right of that yellow heart.

where's sgt pepper?

yellow with hair looks more like Tim Buckley's Goodbye and Hello than the Tracy Chapman.

Oh yeah, could be. Still looks like soft focus Chapman hair to me.

I see Sgt. Pepper's now! Far left in the middle.

And I think that's Phil Collins' No Jacket Required above The Byrds.

Tracy Chapman above/behind Phil, I think.

Maybe I see, Flaming Pie. Hard to tell.

Right in front of that guys hand.

Lipps, Inc. "Funkytown" EP on the far right, in front.

which store was this photo taken in?

Invisible Touch by Genesis is almost directly underneath the Mario Bros mobile/thing.

why does that guy on the right have downy MASK face?

The album's cover depicts Solesides members Chief Xcel (left) and Lyrics Born (right) in Records, a record store at 710 K St, Sacramento, California.[1]. The K Street location of Records closed in December of 2006.

AHA! - i just realized that this is the original photo (embedded in the question above) - the actual CD and LP covers have a cropped version that cuts off a good bit of the left end of the photo.

I can't really see it in the posted pic, but I seem to recall that Tuff Enuff by The Fabulous Thunderbirds is visible on the CD/LP. However, I can see Dr. Hook's Greatest Hits (Yellow Heart on the cover) in that shot.

Something involving Stevie Nicks just to the left of the cat's back?

Eric Clapton's August above the cat's back.

Yeah, it's Elvis Costello's This Year's Model in front of the cat - but what is that right under it, Girlschool or something?

And at first I couldn't find the Foetus EP, but it's over there above the Firm record.

What's an English record shop doing in Cali?

Probably says more about the sleuthors than the sleuthed.

sara got the only ones I recognize

I seem to recall that in the larger version of the photo you can see a Death In June album (with the "whip hand" graphic) really clearly. Am I remembering wrong?

Oh, here's a bigger pic of a detail - helps w/ the stuff I just mentioned:http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj242/donaldparsley/Endtroducing1.jpg

And the "whip hand" thing is there, right in the middle. I had no idea what it might be.

Directly in back of the cat is the first album by Cold Blood

(and I caught that before the enlarged pic was posted) (which kinda seems like cheating!)

Never noticed it before, but next to the whip hand:

Deep Purple-Come Taste The Band

also: Marianne Faithfull-Broken English

Is that a Residents 45 on the back wall, to the left of dude's hat? No idea, but it looks as though it might involve eyeballs.

And who is Jorge Dalto (lower right)?

the whip hand thing is probably death in june, right?

i see blue cheer's s/t right over "lawrenc welk" in the first pic.

ah, death in june born again ep.

is that orange one with the big face on it, behind Quiet Nights, another Miles Davis record? It looks familiar.

JOrge Dalto is a percussionist .. played in Tito Puente's groups I believe

Chambers Bros.-Time Has Come Today (behind the Collins)

hmm .. actually I think I got that wrong ... just googled and Dalto was a pianist not a percussionist. Guess I should leave the latin jazz questions to Rockist Scientist! altho i was right in that he played with Puente.

Oh, and that's the second, al kooper-less Blood, Sweat & Tears album in the back row (two rows up and one to the right of Sgt. Pepper)

Bloodrock-2 (Below the BS&T lp)

Is that a Bangles 12-inch in front of Sgt. Pepper? It isn't an album.

Yeah. Walk like an Egyptian. I mentioned it way back.

There's an Erasure record in there - 12" of 'Oh L'Amour' maybe?

ahahah Mario Bros. mobile.

I spy:

Inside Out - John Martyn

(two rows to the cat's left)

Is that Graham Nash's Songs for Beginners to the left of the Death in June ep?

what's the one with the stoplight?

'Let's Dance' is there twice, so to speak: the album is three to the right of the Bangles 12", the 12" single of the title song is to the immediate left of Buckley/Chapman

Been wondering about the stoplight rec myself. Seems like something I used to see quite a bit.

Some kind of fusion thing maybe?

What's the one with the big yellow heart shape? Looks v. familiar - I think it's a greatest hits?

(P.S. this is fun!)

Yellow Heart=Dr. Hook's Greatest Hits

two rows up from the whip-hand thing is 'Layla', no ?

Yeah, it's Layla.

What's the thing to the left of Clapton's August? The font looks like 70s Kansas, but I don't recognize the cover.

I checked and Songs for Beginners is the record to the left of the Death in June ep.

ooh, I think I can see Frankie Goes To Hollywood's first album in the bigger pic. It's a row or two to the right of Dr Hook and up a bit.

think that may be the Purp's "Who Do We Think We Are" directly above the "Come Taste the Band"

Got my cd out and would like to mention that Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg's Twins Sons of Different Mothers is to the right of Broken English, and Foghat's Night Shift is above the Fogelberg.

About six down from the Fogelberg is some Hendrix album that has a B&W picture of his face. And ELO's Out of The Blue is on the top row five down from the cat head (and to the left of the Fab T-birds)

that would be one of the 'Essential Jimi Hendrix" records. Looks like the blue one, but I forget if that's Vol. 1 or 2.

also Cabaret Voltaire (Micro-Phonies, I think) below Shaun Cassidy to the left.

I am doing this from my LP copy, I wonder if the CD is different.

I'm guessing that the one leaning forward a couple shelves to the right of Broken English is Peter Gabriel's third.

Flash Fearless and the something-something: '70s concept album, maybe multi-artist.

Is that Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die on the far left in back?

sure looks like it -- mis-filed amongst the B's and the C's!

"Directly in back of the cat is the first album by Cold Blood

-- Stormy Davis"

yeah, when i saw that record in a shop years ago i recognized it from the endtroducing cover. i listened to it, there's actually a pretty nice but short break at the beginning of one of the cuts that sounds like something shadow would have jacked.

Directly behind the cat's head: We've Got A Live One Here by Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen

There's a China Crisis album on the top row in the same rack as Phil Collins. It's 'Flaunt The Imperfection', the blue and silver one that Walter Becker produced. It's terrible too BTW.
