5. On this sleeve a prism splits a beam of light into a multi-coloured tail. The moon is nowhere in sight. What album sleeve is this?

Answer: "Dark Side of the Moon" - Pink Floyd

It is rumoured that when you play the album "The Dark Side of the Moon" in synch with the movie "The Wizard of Oz" that there are some remarkable coincidences which seem to suggest that the album was written as some sort of alternative soundtrack to the film. Some people have too much time on their hands.

6. This sleeve looks like a ransom note. It's pink and yellow. And there's a naughty word on it.

Answer: "Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols" - Sex Pistols

John Lydon aka. Johnny Rotten was the singer of the Sex pistols. In the late seventies he was regarded public enemy number one by the British establishment. In 2004 he appeared on the reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' and had an argument with some ostriches.

7. The band - who had a pretty big cartoonesque dimension anyway - appear as cartoon figures on this sleeve. It's pretty obvious that their trousers have seen better days. What sleeve is this?

Answer: "Road to Ruin" - the Ramones

The different members of the Ramones all called themselves Ramone, as in Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone etc. But the truth is that those weren't their real names. They nicked the idea from Paul McCartney who used to register himself in hotels under the name Ramone.

Answer: "Eskimo" - the Residents

Eskimos are now called Inuits.

9. A young girl sits naked near the water. Two men surround her and another one sits in a little boat nearby. Which band released this controversial album sleeve?

Answer: Bow Wow Wow

This sleeve was an hommage to the painting "Le D�jeuner Sur l'Herbe" by French painter Manet. The album was called "See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Our Gang, Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!" It didn't really sell too good, cos people couldn't remember the title and went for "Pearls" by Elkie Brooks instead.

Answer: "Tonight" -David Bowie

Even though Iggy Pop co-wrote 5 of the songs on this Bowie album, it's one of his lesser works.
Anyway, easy enough for ya? If this quiz gets rated 'Impossible' or 'Crazy! Like Brainbustingly Brutal!' I'll eat me trousers.
