Name That Album Cover ... Or How Obscure Is That?!

[Beechwoods]

Alex gave me an idea for what might be an interesting thread... a variation on 'Name That Tune' ;)

Name That Album Cover

So someone posts up an unnamed picture of an album cover... someone else identifies it and gets to post their own unnamed album cover... and so on. Might be an amusing little diversion. Let's see how obscure we can get (Andre?!) You can; just to make it more difficult, edit the picture to exclude the band name if it's a dead giveaway...

If more than a day elapses without identification of the unnamed album, you're allowed to post a new one to keep the ball in the air.

Wotcha think?

Here's one to start with :)

[Beechwoods]

Just make sure the cover photie is of someone who's at least as good looking as Mr Mann ;)

[Alex_UK]

Good thread Nick, and nice to see a half-naked man with his flute out in public - that's Herebie, not you! Over to Chris then, for our next starter for 10...

[Rare Bird]

Dreams first album

[Beechwoods]

I knew it :doh: and rather fine it is too. Especially the 'Suite' on Side 2. Anyone know if it's been released on CD?

PS. You didn't cheat did you and look at the filename ;)

Yeh nice Jazz/rock stuff.. I have it on a Japanese Card sleeve issue, can't say i've seen a regular Jewel case edition

[Rare Bird]

Cheating!

No i can recommend some nice Jazz Rock based stuff if you like..

[Rare Bird]

This one is easy..Surely

[Rare Bird]

Your not doing very well commrades.. Ok the above is the Skin Alley debut album

[Beechwoods]

Really? I liked their thing on the Glastonbury Fayre LP.

Aye good band..2nd albums a good one aswell

[Rare Bird]

btw That track ''Sun Music'' from the Glastonbury album is on the Third album 'two quid deal', not a very good album compared to the first..

[Beechwoods]

Thanks Andre. I'll definitely check that out. While we're on the subject have you checked out Mighty Baby's recent 'Live In The Attic' release? Another from the Glasto LP and the live LP is just fantastic - and a great pressing too.

Here's my pic for tonight. I know at least one person on here will get it:

[Rare Bird]

Nick i refuse to listern to music past 1973 ish..I have the fist Mighty on CD-r don't think i'll be buying the lagit issue tho.

[Beechwoods]

It was recorded in 1969, does that count ;)

Don't know this must be a newish release then? in which case i won't know about it..Was never a fan of Mighty anyway..

[Beechwoods]

Ulrich Schnauss - Faraway Trains Passing By

[DanJennings]

This one's probably dead easy, but I like the idea of this thread, even though I'm rubbish at it, and I didn't want it to die :)

[Rare Bird]

Ramases - Space Hymns.. Swirl Vertigo records

[The Grand Wazoo]

Seems to me that there's a certain problem to this (otherwise brilliant) thread that means anyone who doesn't like prog rock is completely excluded.
No offence intended

[Rare Bird]

Seems to be plenty like prog Chris..

[The Grand Wazoo]

OK, I'll shut up then, you carry on

[Rare Bird]

I never posted them, each person choice

[The Grand Wazoo]

My point is that if someone knows a very obscure prog album sleeve & gets the correct answer, then they are likely to have a good stack of obscure prog albums (& let's face it, there are plenty of them) that they'll choose from for the next round. Because of that, the game stays with prog rock & tough shit for anyone else.

Anyway, you carry on.

[Rare Bird]

Serves you all right for being ignorant about it then ;) At the end of the day Prog & prog/Psych related moosik made up the biggest part of rock music releases in the late 60's/early 70's

[Joe]

Plus, most non-prog covers have the name of the artist and title in gurt big letters, which is a bit of a giveaway!

[Rare Bird]

Also prog/psych covers are the best cover art eva

[The Grand Wazoo]

Andre,
You can't play the game on your own!

[Rare Bird]

Don't say that :)

Here whats this

[Rare Bird]

This one :)

[Rare Bird]

This one's dead easy

I beg to differ... here's a track from the album I posted earlier :)
