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

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!

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 :/

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:

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

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.

My friends ...

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!

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.

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
