Don’t scroll down too far if you want to have a go just for fun.
Below are some sketches of album covers that I still have on vinyl in my shed. I haven’t played them for years, because young me must have used them to sand down picnic benches or something.
It’s not the full cover—just a tiny glimpse to give you a clue.
The fact that I haven’t played them since the days I was allowed to put posters on my bedroom walls gives you a clue as to the era. Most of them are from the rock genre (except one).
Good luck.

4 was a bit tricky – so many versions of this one and even the band don’t like 9, maybe you and I are the only ones that did😀
Yes, I quite liked number 9, even though the band didn’t. Glad you got 4 😂
Another great one but had to concede on number 7 as frittering away Good Friday!
Thanks Dawn, glad you enjoyed it. 7 maybe a bit too much, since it’s a small character on the cover😬
Wow, some toughies here. I have answers to all but number 4, so will keep thinking and researching…. I’m sure I recognise it, but it won’t come back to me.
It was a toughie, I was making the assumption that everyone has the same record collection as me 😬
Very tricky this week , didn’t have many vinyls, just used to dance to them 🤣
Dancing sounds good. Thanks for trying 😀
Ohhh a toughie this week! I could only get the band for number 4!
It was a bit of a tough one, if you get the band that will be good enough 😄
I think know the band for 4 but can’t find an album cover, and 7 all my guesses fruitless.
Thanks for trying Jeremy, 7 is a bit tricky I must admit 😀
I realised after that I have a book of Rodney Matthews artwork that incuded the artwork for On a Storytellers Night captioned ss used on the Magnum cover🤯🤷🏼♂️
Rodney Matthews is brill, he’s done some amazing album covers
no idea for no.7, No.3 is absolutely doing my head in because I know it and I can’t bring it to mind. It’ll come to me once I press ‘submit’ !!
No 7 is a bit difficult, sorry about that Gill. Thanks for having a go 😀
Yet another brilliant, and at at times difficult, kwiz! Confident about all my answers except numbers 6 and 7! Look forward to seeing the correct answers!
People have struggled with this one, especially 6 and 7. Glad you still enjoyed it😁
I’d just like to apologise to the planet for the amount of electricity I’ve used scouring the internet for these – is there a carbon offset option?
Sorry to you and the world for putting you both through that😬
Nearly finished me off trying to work out not number 4 lol
Sorry about that Jim, when I did the sketches I must’ve assumed everyone knew my record collection😁
Struggled with this week’s but enjoyed it nonetheless…please keep them coming Ian.
Thanks for persevering Julian,it was a tricky one this time 🙂
By jove, sir!!! That was mightily testing. I have no brain cells left.
Sorry Kaija, I think I went too far this time. Thanks for having a go 😃
Well this is the hardest yet! Number 7 is driving us nuts 🤪
Sorry Susan, number 7 is a tricky one. A great band, but not as popular as the others
This one drove me to distraction!! There were two I just couldn’t get but it turns out I got the rest right, so I’ll give myself a pat on the back for that 😂😂 (Maybe I’ll just buy myself a t-shirt!) 😉
Definitely give yourself a pat on the back, I went too far with this one 😬
Only got one back to school for me
😁 Thanks for trying Andy
Omg would never have got 7 Even when you put answers up I needed a magnifying glass lol
Sorry Ruth, 7 was a tricky one, great album cover though 😃
Missed it all somehow, (no idea how, presumably opened it, took a very quick look intending to get back to it, and obviously got sidetracked). Anyway, glad I never in the end, as I would have made a show of meself :-o Looking at them I think I would have got 4 at the most. Recognised Moving Pictures, never recognised High Voltage, Number of The Bus, on a Story Tellers Night Or the Elder High Voltage, far as I’m aware, I only have the Import version, which is a totally different cover. The others no excuse at all !
Sounds like you’re glad you missed it Barry 😁
