Spot on.
here's one for ya,
The edges and borders of the cover appear to be bound in strips of grey/silver gaffer tape, with the centre part dominated by a large toothbrush head on a glowing backdrop
Oi, it's not even a hard one.....
razorrazoo - MemberMan in morph suit has head in bin.
dunno either of those
Therapy? Troublegum? Is he in a morph suit? His head is definitely in a bin...
sorry raz- no idea either.
clue on my one is the artwork is quite 'pop' style, and a classic from the 4AD label.
Ultra Vivid Scene?
Mrs Toast - MemberTherapy? Troublegum? Is he in a morph suit? His head is definitely in a bin...
Yep, that's it. Looks a bit like a morph suit.

I thought he was nude and wrinkley! 😀
OK, mine's a mummified body hanging upside down from machinery, with a brick wall behind, and hands reaching up from machinery beneath.
Weirdly I have a different cover in my mind for that and had to look it up. possibly it was released with a different image?
edit: UVS I mean. Don't know Mrs Toast's one.
That's not a bin that's a DUSTbin! I woulda got it then..
Chaos AD?
Correct, Lifer. I'd post a picture of it, but I'm on my iPad so it's a bit of a pain in the arse!
Drawing of a full moon over a forest of leafless trees.
Blue devil cowboy sitting down, playing cards holding his tail on the right.
Album name scratched into tree branch top left, band name at the bottom.
Ooh, I know this one, I'm sure!
Trying to think of hints that won't give too much away.
3 songwriters who do the lead vocals on their own songs.
Released mid 2000s, band still going
I've worked it out thanks to the hint - but I had to do a google so I'm disqualifying myself
Noble!
vague genre?
Baffled.
Im sure i can picture it, but maybe thats because of the great description!
Country rock, band are from Alabama
Going out for a quick spin, more after
Ahhh... it's the Drive By Truckers isn't it? The Dirty South?

Well done lemony!
this is what i'm currently listening too
4 men up to their necks in a lake, looking at the camera and smiling...
Spiderland by any chance?
yep 🙂
never heard it before, used to work in a record shop and see it every day, never stuck it on....
Hang on, it's my go 😛
I have drawn from memory a classic album of the 80s:

Edit: in case it's not clear, I am in large part a graphic designer...
Is it by Lowry?
I have a couple of classic albums for you:
1. Black cover with black skull tattoo. Band and title white at the top.
2. Bearded man with leather jacket, collar turned up in the rain.
3. Blonde woman in bikini against an ancient landscape. Album title is spelt out in nekked people font.
4. English king (with many wifes) with cut out of head where the cd inside rotates with five different heads (my favourite being the cat one....). Okay that one is actually pretty obscure.
5. Woman with long black hair and a red dress floating in water.
6. A man staring out to sea, some sun loungers, a parasol and a mostly buried car....
I know. Rules....
No one? If it helps, the singer, whose name is in that of the band, is front centre.
Hmm, friends of mine are off to see SLINT tonight- how strange.
Slint track playing on 6music right now.... Breadcrumb Trails. From the green man festival.
(Thought it was Shellac though... 😳 )
MH- Number 2 is "Whats Going On" by M. Gaye?
Is Number 4 "The 6 Wives of Henry" by Rick Wakeman?
Cody -
No 2: yup 😀
No 4 - nope. Much more profane than that (that's a clue btw)
Sam, not being rude, but;
You know the big round thing with the two pointy things?
Is it an island, a hill, a cake or a horned demon of the darkest, blackest Metal?
🙂
LS- is it "Goodbye Cruel World" By EC and the Attractions?????
I could see it in my head for about 30 mins :/

LS is good at this game 🙂
HOORAY! I'm impressed, I was quite bored at work...
Innit?
Damn- forgot MH still had some outstanding! Edited away for now.
Ah jings me, I can see the rotating cat head CD in my head, who is it now???
Ahem, a quick google tells me it's actually Napoleon.... on his imperial throne... Close!
YOUR
PICTURE
HERE
Ok I,ll probably be ignored but this is one of my favoutite albums,man leaning against a tree with a white dog at his feet,whos that man?
bum. i was looking at Elvis Costello albums earlier!
MH - no.1 Motorhead? the rest are too metal for me, so not a darn clue!
Belated congrats to lemonysam
Now all go and listen to Drive by Truckers!
DezB - Member
MH - no.1 Motorhead? the rest are too metal for me, so not a darn clue!
Sorry, nope. Although the skull is reputedly a biker tattoo. Release date was Jan 30 1968, so not metal. Highly influential album though...the crucial bit is a black tattoo on a black cover. To all intents and purposes it's a black cover with the album title and band name in White at the top...
Too metal? Don't let my moniker distract you. There's NO metal.
Some more clues
1. Black cover with black skull tattoo. Band and title white at the top. See above
2. Bearded man with leather jacket, collar turned up in the rain. - that metal classic Marvin Gayes What's Goin On
3. Blonde woman in bikini against an ancient landscape. Album title is spelt out in nekked people font. The cover is a still from 1 million years BC and the woman is Raquel Welch. Released in 1990.
4. English king (with many wifes) with cut out of head where the cd inside rotates with five different heads (my favourite being the cat one....). Okay that one is actually pretty obscure. This is probably far too obscure so I'll just link to the cover....but I'll need to photograph it first for the cat head... 😀
5. Woman with long black hair and a red dress floating in water. Artist is both an MBE and a Mercury Prize winner. Album from 1995
6. A man staring out to sea, some sun loungers, a parasol and a mostly buried car.... Cover contains both sand and sea. The mostly buried car is a Cadillac and the album was unavailable for decades until it's cd re-release and it's by a major league artist.
6. On the Beach - Neil Young
Is 5 PJ Harvey?
1 is White Light White Heat
Tbh I never knew it had a tattoo on it - just thought it was a black cover
g/tim - right on all counts.
I also didn't realise WL/WH had a tattoo for years either until one day the light hit the right way....
No. 4: probably my favourite cd cover

Follow the link for the other heads...
The Napoleon one- wonderfully obscure 🙂 Never heard of them but will now need to look into it.
I can see that bikini one in my head, can't place it...
Neil Young - On the Beach. The Cadillac gave it away . oh already done duh!
Who's go is it folks?
Perhaps the bikini one is also a bit obscure.
final clue: features Kramer & Anna Magnusson.
cody, the F..., er, Napoleon one is worth the checking out. Fave tracks are Laundry Shop & Italy.
[i]Who's go is it folks?[/i]
last correct answer was grevioustim. Then too many obscure ones!
To be fair DezB only 2 are obscure, rest are positively mainstream!

Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
YES, I got one!!!
I'll go....
A red and blue picture of a mans face, wearing sunglasses. The picture takes up the whole cover. In the sunglasses lenses are 2 identical pictures of the band, 4 men.

Fairymuff. 🙂
Now, warton's one sounds familiar. Slightly distracted by the rugby though
XTC?
Just been through my records.

Nothing. Moving onto Cds...
This one is going to stump people:
Painting of a lake, in the foreground is a swan, looking away, rearing back, wings curved in front and head rearing back, with a huge hand and arm reaching towards the swan out of the sky, small castle tower on some land on the right.
😀
Dunno, it'll come to me - but you gotta get the last one before it's your go 😉
XTC?
No, american band, this album was mid / late 90's
Oops, sorry. And warton's is horribly, naggingly familiar, I can visualise it, but I'll be damned if I can think who it is!
Buggerit! 😡
It does seem familiar. CountZero's one - I can only see this picture in my mind!

(Not on a short, obviously!)
Last Clue, Americana / Alt. Country band
He he, I can see where you're coming from, Dez, but no nekkid burds on the cover I'm thinking of, and as a clue it's a pretty obscure British Prog band and was released in 1972.
I'm also struggling with metalheart's bikini cover as well, that one just doesn't ring any bells at all.
Still annoyed I can't think what warton's one is, that's going to drive me absolutely nuts now!
Ah, it wouldn't be The Jayhawks, would it?
This is CZ's victory!

(I wouldn't have known)
I cheated on the Swan one....never heard of the band, deleted that post.
Wow! How the hell did you get that? I've seen the Jayhawks one, but Gidrologrigog? Jeez
Cheating's good if it puts me out of my misery! 😀
