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 storesÁ¢€¦back when we had record stores. Sigh.

The rules are the same as Name That Tune. Each player can make three guesses between updates (Á¢€Å“UpdateÁ¢€ is defined as Á¢€Å“The time when I post a comment listing all of the covers that have been guessed correctlyÁ¢€), 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 there is definitely a theme.

Also there is an acrostic this week. The FIRST letter to each band or artist’s name will spell out a clue as to the puzzle cover’s identity, so there are two parts to the puzzle. One is solving the acrostic, and the other is the identity of the puzzle cover. Good luck!

Lastly, the Puzzle Cover

I suggest subscribing to the comments on the post (click on Á¢€Å“Track CommentsÁ¢€) to more easily follow the progress of the game. Remember, maximum of three guesses between updates of the list. Have fun!
