Covered up (Part Two) - the answers

Hope you enjoyed testing your inferior temporal gyrus last week!  I think it's quite mind-boggling how we store all this visual information over the years and can so often bring it back when needed, and it was certainly needed to recognise the random sections of twenty varied album covers posted last week... but you did it - well all except for one elusive picture (more on that in a mo). Thank you for playing along, great results all round.

And that elusive album sleeve?  At the time of writing, it's the only one which has remained unidentified.  If you'd like a little clue...  

Here they all are:

1. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis Bold As Love



2. Pixies - Doolittle



3. The Patti Smith Group - Wave



4. The Mothers of Invention - Weasels Ripped My Flesh

5. The Who - Sell Out


6. New Order - Power, Corruption and Lies



7. The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed



8. Paul Weller - Stanley Road



9. Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True



10. Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt)

11. Bananarama - Deep Sea Skiving

12. Carole King - Tapestry



13. Ian Dury & the Blockheads - New Boots and Panties



14. Steel Pulse - Handsworth Revolution



15. The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo


16. The The - Dusk



17. Pink Floyd - The One With The Cow Atom Heart Mother



18. The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys



19. The one that got away was.... Lush - Lovelife 



20. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks



That's it on the puzzle front for now but there may be something similar around Christmas time.

Twenty out of twenty!  Congrats and many thanks to all who played along with last week's album cover puzzle, every one of them was solved by you - and very quickly too.  The full images are at the bottom of this post just to confirm your expert identification skills.  But before that, I've been snipping more bits out of other sleeve artwork - so if you're up for a Part Two to while away the minutes (or maybe that should be mere seconds judging by the last lot), here are twenty more:
