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.

Not entirely well, it seems.
BUT, it turns out I loved these threads so much (even if people blatantly started ignoring the "from memory" bit) that I saved the first two threads, images and all! And in the same folder, it appears I also saved the "Photoshop/MS Paint Nike and other evil corporations ruining famous album covers". Wonder if there is a sensible way of sharing here on board, if there is interest?
