These last few seem tantalisingly familiar, and yet...
A hint for #90: the now defunct band hailed from somewhere other than the UK or US, and looking again now, parts 7 and 9 are actually very close to the original covers.

Hint for 96: #2 is the closest one. The artist has made records under different names which I didn't include.http://i33.tinypic.com/w87zph.png

This was an amusing thread. Amazingly many of the images remain. Looks like my #90 is still waiting for the correct answer!

it’s not Joni Mitchell is it?
― brimstead, Saturday, 16 January 2021 01:48 (three years ago) link
No! It's possible they weren't good matches (though the final three probably are, right down to the number of people) and the sleeves may not have been broadly renowned in the first place. But it remains a complete set--there are no more covers to add a dozen years later.
I'm kinda tempted to add more of these, but I haven't spotted a present day equivalent to that site.

Okay, just using Google images and browsing the dodgier matches...

Correct!
I tried another one earlier, using Bing. Again felt like the matches are just *too* good. But I'll post it...
