Covered up (part three)

A lovely trip to Leeds, a job to finish - it's all been a bit of a whirlwind here lately but, following on from my last post about how so much album cover artwork sticks in our long term memory, I thought it  time once again to test that out.  The catch of course is that there is the extra hardship of only seeing a small section...

So here you go - twenty more snippets from sleeves waiting to be identified - who are the artists and what are the album titles? You know you've seen those shoes in #2 before, don't you?  And those colours in #8, or that, erm, whatever it is in #18! But where?

Please feel free to leave your answers in the comments - the proof to be uncovered next Monday.
