    Posted: March 28 2021 at 08:35
I've been trying to identify all albums on this well-known montage: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/91/fa/d2/91fad2672c93e7e574bcadd1c6047f7c.jpg. I counted 59 references, 54 of which I easily identified, but I'm having problems with the following 5.
  1. The first are what look like lights in in the top right corner, strung between The Turn of a Friendly Card and Voyage of the Acolyte.
  2. The second is between Equinox and Thick as a Brick.
  3. Third and fourth are on either side of the waterfall from Tales from Topographic Oceans
  4. The Camel is unlike any on the Camel albums. It looks more like one of the camels on Caravanserai - but not exactly.
Any help?

The fourth one is from the back cover of Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy.
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Interestingly, the jar being held by the lady from Supertramp - Breakfast In America is from an alternative cover of Gentle Giant - Octopus. My CD of Gentle Giant - Octopus has this cover, and it's different from the cover I usually see for this album.

The second one is Marillion I think.

In the montage, she's holding a jar containing an octopus, with "GENTLE GIANT" written on the lid.

Not in this picture, she isn’t. She’s holding the Gentle Giant jarred octopus.... 🐙

Ahhh, I was thinking he was talking about an alternate Supertramp cover. Got it.
Both my LP and CD have the Jar cover.

OK. Marillion's Grendel - a limited edition release apparently. Thanks for spotting it - never seen it before.

I'd be surprised if the camel pic isn't from the back of a Camel lp....?

That's a tricky one as well since it's technically not an album cover. It's from a Video cover.

Probably is, but not on any of the editions I have. My guess would be Rajaz, but not the CD I have.

Isn't it a camel from Santana's Caravanserai album?

The razamataz is a pain in the bum

The Octopus in jar cover is the North American release cover, I have that one. I prefer the UK/Euro pressing. Though it is die-cut, which is nice.

That's what I thought at first too, but on closer inspection none of the camels on Caravanserai are posed just like the one in the montage.

I'm sure I've seen that camel already.
