Van Morrison has a few albums with multiples of his face on the same cover (fingers crossed for formatting success)

Morrissey is a prime example of this, with the original cover of Southpaw Grammar being the only exception. (He put his face on the cover of the reissue.)

The Go-Betweens managed 8 out of 9.

If you flip the CD booklet on the exception (not sure there even was a vinyl issue locally) you can pretend it was 9/9 and the ugly line drawing never happened. (Not that many of the portrait covers were good!)

Mayra Andrade. Excused for it, because she does have one of the most perfect faces I've ever seen.
