You're definitely in the right ballpark...

Clue 1: Bottom left is a big fan of the Yamaha PSS series these days, but only the older ones.

Clue 2: Bottom right. Tomorrow it'll be 14 years, but this goes back further; right back to the very start. Shocking, isn't it?

I'm stumped so...

Never let it be said I'm not a generous man...here's some more of them:

Big hint: they're all singles, from around the same period, with one connection; more cryptic clues later, if needed.

All clues relate to the original picture, to avoid confusion.

Clue 3: Top left. Time flies when your singer's having surgery.

Clue 4: Bottom left (again). Mr. Ramsay has an IQ of between 51 and 70.

Clue 5: Top right. Gearbox happiness separation.

Bottom left is Jilted John then I guess from your clue - I didn't ever have the picture cover for that so I don't think I've ever seen it.

Top right is Transmission by Joy Division - but I think that's one of the re-release covers rather than the original (might be wrong though).

Bottom right is Electricity by OMD.

Don't know the other one, but from those 3 my guess is they're all produced by Martin Hannett?

The link is peter saville, sleeve designer.
Like u mike, i'm struggling with the blue/black cover (i knew the omd/joy division/jilted john already).

Yes, robojam got the correct link, so...

11 O'Clock Tick Tock - U2

(Reference to Bono's recent spinal surgery)

Transmission - Joy Division

(Or "Gearbox - Happiness Separation")

I think you may be right. My bad

although I think I picked the more well-known one. I had to be more specific with the OMD one, as the later version wasn't produced by Hannett...

Jilted John - Jilted John

(AKA John Shuttleworth, PSS lover, and "Gordon is a moron")

Electricity - OMD (Factory version)

(OMD's new album out today - first in 14 years. Also: "Shocking, isn't it!"

)

The cover was apparently black writing on a black background, so this was the best photo I could find.

Back to you robojam!

I'm pretty sure Saville didn't design the Jilted John one; if he did he should be ashamed of himself!

[Edit] It was Steve McGarry

From the above link: "Concluded I was probably doing something wrong when Peter Saville was creating iconic sleeves for Factory while I was designing legendary Manc drag artist Foo Foo Lamarr's "My Life At The Palace" album sleeve."

Hmmm, didn't know he ever produced for U2. Would never have got that one.

Anyway - which is the odd one out and why?

Blank_Frank · Post by **Blank_Frank** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 5:34 pm

Uncles?

Grateful Dead: "Uncle John's Band" (Workingman's Dead)
Brian Eno: "Third Uncle" (Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy))
Terrance and Phillip: "Uncle Fucka" (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut)

Which would make Replicas the odd one out.

Needs a reason...

Well done Frank - very quick! Just to complete it, gary numan's uncle played drums for the tubeway army but there is no song about him.

Yeah, that was the reason. The others sang about uncles but Gary Numan didn't even though he had his uncle in the band.

Frank had 90% of it so I guess it's his again.
