An error in my hunt has been brought to my attention. The label on the photo in the upper right should not begin with an X. It should read:

AZY NEEA AMGUY TRKF MPVL

(also, this clue is multi-layered).

I do try to get everything right, so I apologize for this typo. I have replaced the hunt image with the correct version.


I'm still waiting for two more correct solutions!

Good luck!

I edited the above clue to fix a typo on #2 (the US) album, and a correction on #7 (which was recorded in 1968, but released in 1969).

Sorry for any confusion.
