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

Nice collection of Potters on the bookshelf, and is that a run of Twilights on the top shelf?

What a weird set. Anyhow here's a list:

01. ?
02. ?
03. BEATLES - WHITE ALBUM
04. ?
05. ?
06. THE TORNADOS - TELSTAR
07. DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET - TIME OUT
08. ALAN PARSONS PROJECT - AMMONIA AVENUE
09. ?
10. ?
11. 10CC - THE VERY BEST OF
12. BEAUTIFUL SOUTH - CHOKE
13. BADLY DRAWN BOY - ONCE AROUND THE BLOCK
14. ?
15. ?
16. BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - ONCE AGAIN
17. JEFF WAYNE - THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
18. ?
19. NINA SIMONE - THE VERY BEST
20. LOS LOBOS - HOW WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE
21. GENESIS - WE CANT DANCE
22. ?
23. CAT STEVENS - THE VERY BEST
24. ?
25. ELO - OUT OF THE BLUE
26. PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND
27. ?
28. ?
29. MARK KNOPFLER - SHANGRI LA
30. FLEETWOOD MAC - OH DIANE
31. KATE BUSH - THE KICK INSIDE
32. GONZALEZ - SOLO PIANO II
33. JEAN MICHELLE JARRE - EQUINOXE

Maybe the one below Graceland is a Fear and Loathing Soundtrack? I can see the words -EAR and -NG and I think I see bats in there.

5 Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
and 2 looks like it says "Londonbeat" in the logo

24. Mike Oldfield - Crises

(below Cat Stevens)

It's bothering me what the one in the top left is and whether they cut it to go round the ceiling coving (argh!)

(a) I think these are all hand painted facsimiles, and
(b) the sleeve above Barclay James Harvest is Dire Straits' "So Far Away" single, and why do I care?

Oh, good spot (a and b). It actually was puzzling me that the ratios didn't look quite right on the Oldfield but I thought it was either a different issue with tweaked artwork or something to do with estate agents' magical camera lenses distorting to make horizontal space look much bigger than it really is

I might have been thinking about this too much and should go to bed

though apparently I wasn't thinking about it enough to notice that both Crises and the one in the top-left were listed in MaresNest's opening post: 1. is "the single artwork for Happy Birthday by Altered Images"

If they are painted facsimiles, that would explain why the Paul Simon album looks so weird... In all the versions of the cover I've seen, the image of the horseback rider is much smaller and in the middle of a large white area, but there's no white here.

Is 18 Urban Hymns?

Is 5 Soon over Babaluma?

No 5 is Boys Don't Cry.

We should know 4 and 9 right?

#2 (between the White Album and The Cure) is ELO Balance Of Power

oops - HL got it already.

So
01. ALTERED IMAGES - HAPPY BIRTHDAY
02. ?
03. BEATLES - WHITE ALBUM
04. ELO - BALANCE OF POWER
05. THE CURE - BOYS DON'T CRY
06. THE TORNADOS - TELSTAR
07. DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET - TIME OUT
08. ALAN PARSONS PROJECT - AMMONIA AVENUE
09. ?
10. ?
11. 10CC - THE VERY BEST OF
12. BEAUTIFUL SOUTH - CHOKE
13. BADLY DRAWN BOY - ONCE AROUND THE BLOCK
14. ?
15. DIRE STRAITS - SO FAR AWAY
16. BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - ONCE AGAIN
17. JEFF WAYNE - THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
18. ?
19. NINA SIMONE - THE VERY BEST
20. LOS LOBOS - HOW WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE
21. GENESIS - WE CANT DANCE
22. ?
23. CAT STEVENS - THE VERY BEST
24. ?
25. ELO - OUT OF THE BLUE
26. PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND
27. ?
28. ?
29. MARK KNOPFLER - SHANGRI LA
30. FLEETWOOD MAC - OH DIANE
31. KATE BUSH - THE KICK INSIDE
32. GONZALEZ - SOLO PIANO II
33. JEAN MICHELLE JARRE - EQUINOXE

Can you tell I am a week over a blown writing deadline?

22 is Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock album from 1955:

http://images.45cat.com/bill-haley-and-his-comets-were-gonna-rock-around-the-clock-brunswick-2.jpg

I think these covers were chosen because they all have colourful painted/drawn visuals, and no photos, not because they represent someone's musical taste. Makes sense to pick covers like these if they are indeed handmade facsimiles.

28 is the single "Mathematics" by Cherry Ghost.

So, we're saying 18 isn't Urban Hymns The Verve, then?

The trees don't work

Man I've been trying reverse image search on these but it doesn't work at all.

yeah, they're just different enough

I've Got My Own Interior Decorating To Do

Pretty sure that is Urban Hymns, Mark.

02. is the 12" single for Make A Change by Buckwheat Zydeco!

http://images.eil.com/large_image/XXX-503005.jpg

Did whoever painted these run out of patience and just say "Fuck it... White Album"?

god I love that Rock Around The Clock cover

It would be weird for 18 to be Urban Hymns because it would be the only one that's a photo of people.

Amazing thread

I hope someone does a podcast about this in 10 years.

Kate Bush's is a photo of a person..

Only a little bit.

14 could be Etiquette by Casiotone for the painfully alone but there's not enough image in there to make a right guess.
18 does fit Urban Hymns.
27 I still think it's a Fear and Loathing soundtrack... it doesn't fit any cover I know but I still see bats in the sky in the corner.

Almost there!

If it were Urban Hymans I'd have thought some of the text on the cover would be visible just above the bed.

Dying to know what #9 is.

Do you have another angle for the image Maresnestt?

18 is definitely not Urban Hymns, the tops of the trees are completely different.

Tempted to say 27 is "Ear" by Ng.

xpost yeah #9 seems like it should an obvious one! i'm thinking it's a jazz album that i've seen before somewhere but i'm drawing a blank..
#27 drives me crazy. skipped through multiple pages of sky/cloud themed covers yesterday but no :/

18 is definitely not Urban Hymns, the tops of the trees are completely different.

Not completely. Being "painted" versions, they are a little different. Have to say, "Urban Hymns" would not really belong in this collection, so I'm entirely sanguine about it being something else. Then again, Badly Drawn Boy also sticks out as being unlikely, but there it is.

Nuclear Engineering, maybe?

ok I just did my time in the rym list trenches (● • Dots • ●,Art with Blob, Blot, Blotch, Spot, Point, Stain and........(this is real Art!), Abstract-Minimalist Cover Art) but I didn't come across #9. I'm thinking it's a '50s/'60s jazz or lounge album but beyond that I have no idea. I'm thinking the white text on the black background is the label name/logo but I'm not sure what label it would be.

#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:

https://img.discogs.com/CLx7EF43VlBBEkupxY_Pe6eoeUc=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-758606-1210621701.jpeg.jpg

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

I didn't cheat and look at any of the replies. Very top is Flash Fearless vs. the Zorg Women. I actually own this record.

already posted on the "record store in Clockwork Orange" thread, fyi

In the walkthrough for this house for sale, in Glastonbury no less, there are silver and gold records on the wall, you can see them at 1'41". There is also a caricature of a guitarist on a shelf space and the records on the wall seem to have been released on Chrysalis, but the covers and small and kinda blurry. Let's figure this one out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRhsg4yJ0Bg

Oh bum sorry, ignore that, here is the proper clip -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDtoiF5-OPo

Through the Ikeahole

So it's B3n3dict House, which is a B&B (or at least has been) - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g186373-d4327335-Reviews-Benedict_House_B_B-Glastonbury_Somerset_England.html

Reviews mention "Chrissy and David", but the most recent one is from 2016 so maybe they sold it to the Chrysalis Records veteran?

Last sold in October 2015 if I’m reading the land registry right, so change of owners round then is plausible.
The Golden Apple gallery is attached but there’s little info online about it.

That said there are little square boxes of tissues on bedside tables in both the tripadvisor and estate agent pics so maybe there is continuity there, despite the absence of ornamental dragons in the TA pics.

Browsing through Chrysalis' discography and I'm wondering if it could be Ian Anderson?

Way too small, he has a stone cottage somewhere in its own grounds I think

I reckon it is a member of Steeleye Span, two of the covers next to each other look like Parcel of Rogues and All Around my Hat

There doesn't seem to be any sort of music practice space in the house - no instruments around. Is it more likely to be a producer, manager, executive?

Could easily be yes, or a studio engineer
