I was a bit confused because I don't recognise these photos Keir, it seems they are from a different version of these releases?

these are what are on the Metal Proof Records/Evil Records versions:

Heavy Metal Hunter booklet front:

Heavy Metal Hunter booklet back:

Heavy Metal Hunter tray:

Heavy Metal Drill booklet:

Ah yes, mine is the 2003 R.I.P. Records version. Maybe we can do the pics you posted next!

One more. Strange to see Blasfemia amongst all those heavy metal records.

I can see the resemblance but I don't think that's it. Unfortunately I just found that in a Google image search so I don't have a better scan. However, here is a link to a better pic of the HMH cover:

And looking at that I just noticed another one: Cristal Y Acero - Espadas De Cristal

what's that b/w korrozia metalla LP next to the south american thor LP?

Both are quite noisy speed metal, but I wouldnt call them out of place there.

Since it looks like no one has more to add on the first pics I posted, let's try the original version of Heavy Metal Hunter that doomedplanet posted above (booklet front and back). I already identified most of them.

1st column:
Explorer - Exploding / Stormwitch - Magyarorszagon / Renegade - Total Armageddon / Excalibur - Generacion Maldita / Darxon - Killed In Action

2nd column:
Leviticus - The Strongest Power / Trilogy - Next In Line / Trouble - Warrior / Ritual - Ritual / ?

3rd column:
Robertinho De Recife - Metal Mania / Wraith - Naked Aggression / Black Knight - Master Of Disaster / ? / ?

4th column:
Bronx - Welcome To The World / Crystal Knight - Crystal Knight / Mystique - Black Rider / Victim - Power Hungry / Evo - Animal De Ciudad

5th column:
Zen Venom - From Another Planet / Danger Zone - Victim Of Time / V/A - Heavy Metal Made In Italy / V/A - Sword / Triton - Triton

The Heavy Metal Drill booklet also shows the same wall, as does the Heavy Metal Drill tray but overlaid with the following 45s:

Druid - Four Curses / Sacrifice - Street Fighter / ? / ?
Virtue - We Stand To Fight / Torsten - King Of The Nest / ? / ?
Taipan -Taipan / Odin - Caution! / Exciter - All Night In Red Light / Rex Vector - Breathe Fire

I would love to look closer at your first pictures, but these old eyes cannot even make out the covers that have been discovered due to the low resolution!

2nd Column Leviticus, the title is The Strongest Power.
