Wax Po bootleg poster help

[ZaDoug]

Hello!
A friend of mine is turning 30 soon and despite him not being that much into record collecting, as a graphic designer he's maniac about record covers. I know he always wanted a copy of the Wax Po poster to frame and hang in his studio. This shit being sold out, I decided to take the challenge (I happen to be a graphic designer myself too) and make a bootleg version for him, replicating it almost exactly (as he's called Maxime I'll just change the waxpoetics logo into maxpoetics).
As I don't own the poster myself, I've done with what I've found online: a few low-res images of the poster. With my knowledges and help from Google Images I've managed to identify 95% of the covers. I just miss 18 6 of them.

If any of you owns a copy of the poster it would awesome if you can help me to identify the missing covers (and this would add a bit more backstory to my friend's gift). You can either share a zoomed picture/scan of the part or just list the records names.

I'm attaching some screenshots of what's still missing. Thanks in advances Strutters!

I only found a lo-res photo of the poster, but the one next to the Machito cover is Tom Zé's Todos os Olhos (the famous marble in an anus that was later revealed to just be someone's lips or not)

Thank you so much! I didn't know that story (neither the record) but I though for a time that it was some lips holding a chocolate ball like Hot Chocolate’s Hottest Hits. I was pretty close… or notIf anyone esle don't have the poster but still wants to help, I'm attaching the 3 best pictures that I have found online and that turned useful so far:

Under the Sun Ra - isn't that a Mingering Mike?

Thanks! I can't find a matching cover for this one, you're totally right:

By investigating on Mingering Mike’s work I've also found this one, which is definitely the one next to Canto Ami America:

I'm 99% sure the one below Terry Callier's Occasional Rain is Brazilian - it looks like a band on a beach with Sugar Loaf Mountain in the back. But I can't figure out which record it is, that was kind of a standard look for covers in the 70s.

The one above Sabu's "Jazz Espagnole" is the monochrome cover of Paul Humphrey's "Me And My Drums". The one to the right of Sun Ra's "Jazz In Silhouette" is Burning Spear's "Studio One Presents..."

That's brilliant! Thanks a lot to you guys.I'm now down to 10 unidentified records. Will update the first post as soon as I have a moment!

 

[Electrode]

Found another. The one to the left of the Sun Ra, below the "Honey Baby, Honey Baby" soundtrack, is Ralph Robles "Was Here".

 

[ZaDoug]

Thanks Electrode! The poster is crowded with Fania releases and I carefully browsed their catalog to find the ones missing. It seems I've still missed one.
9 to go! I've updated the first post with up-to-date screenshots including the recent finds from you guys.

I’ve only followed this thread on my mobile phone and will eventually look at the photos on a bigger screen but in your top photo to the left of the Barrett’s - Power it’s Amadou Balake Bar Konon Mousso Bar

 

[Yemsky]

I am beginning to think that I actually own this poster but I can't find it at the moment. Did this come folded or rolled from WaxPoetics?

 

[Electrode]

If I cut corners, I would just put Syd Jones and the Troubadours "Positively Spicy" and Los Mitos S/T above and below the Sweet Maya and "Phenix" next to the other Cannonball Adderley.

Thanks, that's one more! I have no clue how the poster came with the magazine (or not), sorry about that.Electrode said:

Below Sweet Maya it's Gary McFarland – Today. Above looks more like a drawing to me, but we're definitely close with Los Mitos, it could be a nice placeholder. Next to Cannonball Adderley I am seeing two characters, from the side, next to each other in front of a window, maybe on a train or something. That orange color is confusing indeed. I still have a bit of time so maybe if Yemsky is finding the poster we can have new clues.Thanks all for your help again, I never thought we could be this close to identifying all of them with such crappy images!

Need a "Had It" variation of the Biz Markie graemlin. Don't think it's that. I've got a dude's name on the tip of my tongue... thinking about some turkish or Afro (?) funk band that also had an album cover with musicians standing in the grass. Boris?

Wow, this one was bugging me for a long time. I thought it was one of those generic stock cover. Thank you so much.

Really appreciated. I spent a couple of hours the other night trying to find that in my memory (it’s not in my collection...)
