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

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.

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

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.

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.
― schrute dwyte (unregistered), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 16:20 (seven years ago) link
#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.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 14 February 2017 16:39 (seven years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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?
