Nashville Skyline, doh how did I miss that?

Any idea what the one with the big moustachioed mouth is?

Dan Worsley, Friday, 24 April 2020 21:56 (four years ago) link

The one at the edge of the photo beneath his foot is The Stooges debut.

Dan Worsley, Friday, 24 April 2020 22:07 (four years ago) link

Mostly black album on the on the floor on the far left is Ars Nova s/t. Sorry should have probably posted some of these covers.

... a most unappealing cover!

The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Saturday, 25 April 2020 00:07 (four years ago) link

What was that phrase picture editors on the NME or Melody Maker used to put under pictures of unattractive bands? "Sorry girls, they're married!"

The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Saturday, 25 April 2020 00:15 (four years ago) link

Steve Miller Band, Your Saving Grace on the lower ledge, far right.

Cool, I was wondering what that was!

Nice sleeve.

The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Saturday, 25 April 2020 00:39 (four years ago) link

First album on the 2nd row is "Family Entertainment" by Family.

Merryweather - Word of Mouth, between Mother Earth and Steve Miller

I cheated and managed to google it based on a description, being sure I knew it but just couldn't think of the name. Turns out there was no "Oh Yeah" moment.

Oh wow, good work!

Lower left looked like it said "The Savage Rose." Discogs.com, prove me right!

A Supremes box set (the Velvet longbox), and a Velvettes comp (under the Hathaway).

Some Belmonts comp on Ace over in the bottom right-hand corner.

I think the one under ray Charles is Street Signs by Ozomatli, but upside-down.

ooh, nice ozomatli spotting

fact checking cuz, Thursday, 23 September 2021 03:09 (two years ago) link

I see the TDK logo under Monk so I guess that's a CD-R

assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 23 September 2021 07:35 (two years ago) link

I thought that might be Beck's Mellow Gold under Ozomatli, but I don't think it is ... but I'm saying it in case someone else can look closely and confirm that it, in fact, is.

alpine static, Thursday, 23 September 2021 08:17 (two years ago) link

I don't actually think so, but I can see why you would say that.

peace, man, Thursday, 23 September 2021 10:28 (two years ago) link

The one on the bottom of the Monk pile would probably be a good candidate for The Great Millennial Colour Drought but it is not included in that thread (unless as a broken link)

Swag Heathen (theStalePrince), Sunday, 31 October 2021 04:34 (two years ago) link

Just to the left of the Steve Reich is the LP version of the NME cassette comp called “The Sugarhill Groove” (this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/532187-Various-The-Sugarhill-Groove) and next to that is “More Tales From The City” by the Band of Holy Joy.

Tim, Sunday, 31 October 2021 06:40 (two years ago) link

Underneath the Elvis EP is this Howlin Wolf EP, “Tell Me”: https://www.discogs.com/release/3668212-Howlin-Wolf-Tell-Me

The photo is from the ‘My record collection’ feature in Q from 1990. Quote below may help identify some of them.

He sure ain't kidding, as lapping his ankles are treasures ranging from Otis Rush, Snooks Eaglin and Aaron Neville to Big Black, Robyn Hitchcock, Glen Branca ("I like discordancy"). The Band Of Holy Joy ("Ha!")m and Sinead O'Connor.

Dan Worsley, Sunday, 31 October 2021 16:35 (two years ago) link

I wonder if that's where he first went on record as being a fan of Songs About Fucking?

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 31 October 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link

Looks like it.

awesome, lol

Communist Hockey Goblin (sleeve), Sunday, 31 October 2021 17:06 (two years ago) link

Many adorable things about that photo, but I especially love the janky-ass Ikea unit with the components on a shelf befitting sitting on the floor to listen to records. Like he got the lease suddenly, and bought the shelves from the previous occupant so as to start spinning records ASAP, and still hasn't gotten around to buying a chair. Landlord window treatments. I like to think of Plant having a little barebones pied-a-terre with nothing but stacks of records and an electric kettle.

Here we are again, I was browsing Rightmove and came across this interesting collection (apologies but I cannot seem to get the image to paste directly to ILX)

The only one I can identify off the bat is Suzanne Vega's 'Solitude Standing'.

Maybe this will work:

The one with the skull on the top row is Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju.

Two others I recognise are Marvin Gaye - I Want You and Annette Peacock - I'm the One.
