This guy has great taste in music. I recognize most of them, but there's a small handful I can't identify due to the small size and angle of the images. For example, the ones either side of the X-Ray Spex album, left of The Real Kids, left of The Saints, left of VU & Nico, etc.

Left of the Saints, is Von LMO surely?

I thought I got them all except the July album, which I was not familiar with previously, but I don't recognize the ones you note either

Left of VU is Simply Saucer - Cyborgs Revisited. Right of X Ray Spex is Suburban Lawns.

Yeah that's what it says. Got that on cd about 10 years ago.
There's only about 4 or 5 of those i don't have in some form.
Not sure what the guy in cop uniform thing is.

I was thinking the bottom right hand corner was either the DBs or teh Feelies but now don't think so.

Can see the record with the psychedelic cover in the other photo is the Mops first lp.

I don't have that Hound record but can see from RYM that it's called Out Of Time.

Not sure what the Beach Boys 12" being bought is,. is that the back cover of something. An early compi or something. Stack of tracks?

I'm more used to the UK cover of Psychic Powerless, Another Man's sac

Funk Inc Chickin Lickin is the thing with the yellow writing on blue.

Not sure about thinkg with a claw next to it but think I recognise it.

V is the Vibrators.
3 mask loooking things is Torch iF the Mystics by Sun City Girls. Fall's Totale's Tales and This Nation's Saving Grace

I thought the cover being held in teh corner fo teh other photo might have been MX80 Sound but that's in colour not b+w.

Soft Boys can Of Bees and I can't see what's above that cos the arrow from the navigation tool is over it.

Can't see what the girl's holding in the other photo to well, did think Tractor though. But on 2nd thoughts probably not.

Sorry, that's what it says is referring to Von Lmo

Oh yeah Chrome is the pre-Helios Creed the Visitation.

beach boys record definitely stack of tracks

Saints Stranded
Throbbing Gristle 20 Jazz Funk Greats

This is very cool.

Wasn't there an ilxor who made a lego record shop a few years back?

Yes, but it was just tiny, not made of Lego.

Ah, I knew the July album looked familiar! Like the artist Coop, a lot of people discovered that July album in recent years. I'm not familiar with Von Lmo or Simply Saucer. The bottom right corner kind of looked like The Soft Pack's tribute to The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms cover but that's not it either.

I made a little tiny record store and I'm boasting about it

I don't see X-Ray Spex in there. Not Germ Free Adolescents at least.

ooh just clocked the Gun Club LP above Fear

It's at the top, second from right. I think everything I didn't know was identified except for two, the one above and the cop in between Can and The Real Kids.

xp to myself lol no wait, that's Perfect Prescription by S3, not Fire Of Love

Teenage Fanclub's "Grand Prix" is in there

stocking one of the phoenix/radioactive les rallizes boots :-/

Many folks may not be familiar with this one, the one to the right of The Saints is pretty unique in that it's a newer album, though relatively obscure, a hard rock band from Philly, Hound - Out Of Time (2014) - https://wearehound.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-time. Makes me wonder if the artist has a personal connection to them, or that was simply the random choice of one album to include from the past 20 years, lol.

cool!

What's below Simply Saucer? Can't really see.
Shame the photo straight on that section is blurred.

But can See Big Star next to Simply Saucer.

There are more shots / different angles in the original full flickr set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/coop666/sets/72157670926182366 (SPOILERS though I guess)

...spoilers as there are also higher-res pics and in some of them you can even read the text. Which is good for me because it was really bugging me trying to remember what the record to the left of X Ray Spex was, and now I know, it is the Gories - House Rockin'. There are still plenty without visible text though so I hope I haven't ruined the game completely.

Pleased to see Q: Are We Not Men and E2:E4 in the other shots.

It's at the top, second from right

amon düül ii, yeti!

What's the one of the guy in a burger van or similar that's in the bottom right hand corner next to a Residents' lp?

Also don't recognise the one the guy in the beanie hat's holding.

Beach Boys Stack o' Tracks do keep up

"What's below Simply Saucer? Can't really see.

The Les Rallizes Denudes bootleg is next to it.

https://www.discogs.com/Les-Rallizes-Denud%C3%A9s-Blind-Baby-Has-Its-Mothers-Eyes/release/2361773

Yo La Tengo - New Wave Hot Dogs!

[xp Stevolende's question about van pic next to Residents]

Below Simply Saucer is Scientist - The Best Dub Album in the World (1980). However it's next to The Dentists, not Les Ralizes Denudes so am I looking at the wrong pic?

oh yeah that Flickr has much better pics. The Vibrators! 1st Residents LP!

so the one to the left of X-Ray Spex is still a mystery?

Oh I see in one picture there are two copies of Simply Saucer, on the adjoining walls. Next to the Les Rallizes Denudes, there is nothing below but a doorway.

Oh I thought that was the Sun City Girls but it's not. It's not Indestructable Beat of Soweto.

Oh, it's Gories - House Rockin'

ah OK, thanks

The details of this whole thing are amazing. Check out the fancy condo next door with the stormtroopers in front, heh. I wonder if that thing was for sale? Probably cost as much as a real record store ;)

Beach Boys Stack o' Tracks do keep up

Since I was the one who said it was Stack of tracks in the first place why don't you?
It's a different guy, he's in a different photo in that first set right at the side of the photo beside teh girl holding the white covered record.
It's a photo in b+w of a group standing behind a table with geometric or map drawing instruments n which you can see more clearly from one of the photos from Flicker.
Reminds me of the Birthday party church photoshoot but I don't think that ever got onto an lp sleeve anyway.

The 3 Masks is the same image that was on the latest cover of tOrch of the Mystics anyway. Indestructibel beat of soweto is a photo of a man crossing a road.

Nobody's mentrioned Dictators Go Girl Crazy next to the Psychocandy taht the guy in the red beanie hat is standing under holding a b+w covered record taht looks arty in a 4AD way or something. Looks like it might be a This Mortal coil lp or something in his hand. that's the one I'm asking about.
He's standing beneath it behind the girl with the balck hair on the photo on Flickr.

Also the one with the circular image that looks like a 60s Greatest hits by somebody on the lower shelf of that unit. Not sure what that is. Does look like some kind of teen pop or rockabilly set though.

(red beanie hat guy)

Nobody's mentrioned Dictators Go Girl Crazy next to the Psychocandy
An insult to the memory of Sandy Pearlman.

To go unmentrioned, that is.

lol sorry steve

xp

Okay, now that I fully scrolled, I saw some albums on the sticker sheet that I can't find in the shop: Aladdin Sane, A Different Kind of Tension, Never Mind the Bollocks, to name three.

Are We Not Men? We Are Devo?

Of course I am far from a superrecognizer, unlike ilxor Tom D.

Is there not a whole section that the photos don't show? I think most of them are towards the interior wall and don't remember seeing anything in the section towards the outer wall if I'm reading the structure right.
But don't think I saw anything other than that E2 E4 in a section that didn't have the sleeves filled in yet.

tg's greatest hits, piper at the gates..., gong's flying tea pot, bonzo dog's tadpoles, the kinks' face to face also on the sticker sheet... and maybe ogdens nut gone flake

(would shop in this store)

& the answer to my previous question on 2nd thoughts is that that is the section that has Aladdin Sane, Devo and Surf City in.
&the red beany hat guy is standing in front of holding that Death In june lp. Thanks for that, they're not a band i'm that familiar with. Think I saw them once around the time that lp came out or the year before, supporting Nick Cave in London.

Which means that i can't see where that E2E4 fits if it's still at the front of a rack. Or has the maker gone and given everything in the racks a cover that isn't showing?

lol sorry steve

Okay, didn't see that guy at counter was wearing a hat . having to switch back and forth between several different sites to see all the photos. Or might have stressed which photo that was.

There are more shots / different angles in the original full flickr set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/coop666/sets/72157670926182366🔗 (SPOILERS though I guess)

...spoilers as there are also higher-res pics and in some of them you can even read the text.

Jandek, Six and Six. Death in June, Nada!

oh, that's july. i thought it was parable of arable land or a zun zun egui ep or something. never had much time for that record except for the bonus track alt take of "the way" which is fabulous.

i totally listened to that hound record because it was in the store. it was good! short, punchy, didn't overstay its welcome.

anyway, i recognized more of those record covers than i can reasonably defend.

Great record that July. Band in part went onto being Jade Warrior.
But that lp is a great English psych thing.

Yeah I revisited the Hound too, good stuff, a little "street doom" going on too. There's a follow-up album after that too.

In tribute to the lego store, I repurposed a pic for a recent piece:

http://fastnbulbous.com/between-the-cracks-part-3/

The one with the monster hand in between Funk Inc. and the Residents is The Oh Sees Castlemania.

Yep, that's another contemporary record, another good choice. Looking forward to the new one, Weird Exits, next week!

I love that Holly Vincent album so much.

I couldn't find http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/g/brwAAOSwOVpXab3q/s-l225.jpg here..
