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

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)

The completely hidden records are all ILX comps.

So that's not the White Album, it's Comp Together!

ILX has a bucket on the floor

Nice work, everyone! Now, moving on. Let's name all those books and ... DVD box sets?

koogs, Thursday, 16 February 2017 16:47 (seven years ago) link

#2 is the 12" single for Make A Change by Buckwheat Zydeco.

ha, yes, thanks. was hiding in the pesky folded comments.

I spotted that one, vaguely familiar from my time trolling cajun/zydeco bins.

I feel like this musical aesthetic is much more cohesive.

What's the poster on the wall to the left of The Smiths?

nate woolls, Friday, 9 June 2017 08:31 (six years ago) link

I'm guessing it's Robert Smith, helped partially by that being the next logical member of the sequence JAMC, U2, Smiths...

Mungolian Jerryset (bendy), Friday, 9 June 2017 11:52 (six years ago) link

isn't that a face in a space helmet on the left? 2001?

StanM, Friday, 9 June 2017 11:59 (six years ago) link

yeah, looks like some sci fi movie to me

sleeve, Friday, 9 June 2017 13:59 (six years ago) link

I'm pretty sure StanM is right.

If the top 21 longboxes can be identified here, it might be possible to date the video down to a few week span!

Mungolian Jerryset (bendy), Friday, 16 June 2017 11:02 (six years ago) link

It looks like Bruce Springsteen's Lucky Town at 7 and (educated guess here) Human Touch at 6. Number 5 looks like Garth Brooks' Ropin' the Wind. The Springsteen albums came out in March 1992 and that Brooks album in September 1991. Def Leppard's Adrenalize is probably in here somewhere.

3 is the Wynonna Judd s/t and 4 is, I think, the Wayne's World soundtrack.

Tim, Saturday, 17 June 2017 08:54 (six years ago) link

#16 Pearl Jam Ten
#17 Amy Grant Heart In Motion

(both '91)?

a passing spacecadet, Saturday, 17 June 2017 10:24 (six years ago) link

Is #12 Slaughter - "The Wild Life"?
https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/152365080503_/1992-Slaughter-The-Wild-Life-Factory-Sealed-Cd.jpg

That would push us into the end of April '92. But I also thought 12 might match the middle display on the wall at the back (similar black-on-red lettering) and I think that might be something else so maybe 12 is too.

Brad C., Monday, 3 July 2017 21:18 (six years ago) link

Low hanging fruit - that's probably the Marc Bolan interview picture disc Where's the Champagne there.

What's the one he's holding? On the table: no idea. Thought Triffids' Born Sandy Devotional for some reason, but that's never been on Island, I think.

StanM, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 20:57 (six years ago) link

He's holding The Notorious Byrd Brothers

MaresNest, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 21:03 (six years ago) link

My only guess is Systems of Romance by Ultravox for the one on the table
