Does anyone have the time and/or patience to start a new post which lists in alphabetical order all the soundtrack covers posted, and in which thread and page (when viewing 100 posts per page) the covers can be found?
I've compiled a list of my own contributions. Perhaps if the other members did the same all the lists could be collated.
How and where exactly did you compile that list? I'm inclined to do the same.
??? Uhhh…I went page to page concurrently making a note of my covers?
Apologies if my question wasn't too clear. Did you post the list in a different thread? A different page on this thread? Did you create hyperlinks to them? That's the stuff I was wondering.

Currently the list only resides on my HD.
As for any compiled reference list, it should properly appear in the first post of this thread.
As for linkage: the ancient, unsophisticated forum template in use doesn't provide front-end or back-end post URLs so it's technically impossible to link to them individually; just pages.

Thank you so much for clarifying.
That's what I thought (regarding the URL linking), and that is probably going to be the biggest hurdle to a list like this being practical.
I wonder if there could be a Google Doc or Word Doc that is hosted off-site but with the URL provided so users can copy and paste to it. Within that document could be hyperlinks to either the thread page or where the image is actually saved (i.e. Imgur, etc.). Still a huge undertaking though considering how many of us have contributed over the years.
As for the old contributions, I agree - I wish there was a database for them somehow.
I must be crazy, but I'm taking a crack at it using Google Sheets. Currently on page 167 of the first thread.
And this is likely to be the EASY thread because there were so many broken or outdated links in the first hundred pages. Bunch of them that had Photobucket's atrociously large watermark across them too. Obviously those got skipped.
Been coding them as "1-page number". Example: "1-166" means "Cover Art Thread 1, page 166".
Thankfully, lots of times, variants of the same album are all on the same page.
Thanks so much for this, so different to all of the other covers, absolutely love it!
Yeah, it makes it look as if THE SWARM was one of those edgy 70s science-fiction movies rather than the clunky disaster schlock it was.
Thanks so much guys! I always try to honor the music and the mood it triggers in me before honoring the movie it's for. Especially when the movie's garbage.

Love your work. Without a doubt, one of the best designers here. Keep it up!

I've always admired the great work posted here. Somebody should consider doing a wordpress blog (I can help with that) like I'm doing with my new LP Cover Archive (used to be the old LP Cover Art). I'm rechecking all my scans/covers for re-posting at the new site. https://lpcoverarchive.com/
Because my job is being sidelined by COVID-19, I've had lots of free time to spend in Photoshop. First up is a big post. I was inspired by the MCU series posted near the beginning of this thread, so I took the general concept and applied a few changes to create this MCU Cinematic Universe series that spans all 23 currently released movies.
