Williams records in Almost Famous

I can get most of them, but on the part in Almost Famous where William’s sister leaves him the records and he flips through them - does anyone recognize all the album covers? Thank you.
Best answer: You didn't ask, but for completeness -- Bookends is the Simon and Garfunkel album that Anita tries to smuggle under her coat into the house.

It looks like there's something behind Blue that isn't Blonde on Blonde (just the top of it is visible), but I'm not sure what it is. (Based on that blog, which quotes the script, I am slightly disappointed they didn't source a copy of 'Great White Wonder.')

Pretty sure it's Led Zeppelin's first album. And my guess is that the cover between Blue and that Led Zeppelin is The Doors L.A. Woman, even though it's off for the year the film is set.

If you mean at 1:58, Axis: Bold As Love is sticking out the side and Zep I is at the top.

yes, Axis: Bold As Love is seen twice. Once in full, then just the edge of it behind Joni's Blue. Somewhere there's a film editor who didn't see Youtube coming.
