Cover Me, Game Thirty-Eight

David Medsker July 13, 2009 65

Below are magnified fragments of album covers. Most of them are well-known albums, but there are a few obscure covers (or lesser-known albums from well-known artists) mixed in to keep you honest. You must guess both the artist and album cover. In order to keep things simple, live albums, soundtracks and singles compilations will not be used, and with all apologies to our European and Japanese friends, we are going with the covers that appeared in the US record stores…back when we had record stores. Sigh.

The rules are the same as Name That Tune. Each player can make three guesses between updates (“Update” is defined as “The time when I post a comment listing all of the covers that have been guessed correctly”), so everyone will have a chance to contribute. And, just to spice things up, we have a puzzle cover this week, yay! One guess per player of the puzzle between updates, please.

There is no acrostic this week, but the covers will provide a clue to the puzzle cover’s identity. Good luck!

    Is it “Coup D'Etat?”

    Ding ding ding! Coup d'etat it is. Thanks everyone, and we'll see you in a couple weeks. Name That Tune will return next Monday. Toodles.

    #4 = one of the many different covers for the Flirts' “10 Cents A Dance.”

    9. Heart – Dog & Butterfly

  • http://www.bullz-eye.com DavidMedsker

    I'll bow to Mr. Hughes' vastly superior knowledge on that one, but yes, the Flirts and Heart are correct.

  • Antti

    17. Letters to Cleo – Aurora Glory Alice

  • http://www.bullz-eye.com DavidMedsker

    Letters to Cleo is correct. Wow, no one has a guess for 18? Here's a big, big hint: their singer's dead, by her own hand.

  • JohnHughes

    I was going to guess the Plasmatics' “Song for the Wretched,” but the bikini doesn't match!

  • JohnHughes

    “NEW HOPE for the Wretched,” rather.

    RIght band, wrong album.

  • JohnHughes

    Is it “Coup D'Etat?”
