painting of a clump of red poppies with green stalks, against a white background. no vase or other artifact is visible, at a guess, it looks like the poppies may be growing wild (though rather densely clumped for that)

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it

Technically this seems to be a single rather than an LP, sue me
Photo of the cover of the single with the C.W. McCall song Convoy. Shows 3 or 4 semi-truck cabs arrayed on the bottom haloed by yellow-white streaks, plus images of Kris Kristofferson & (must be) Ali McGraw (looks rather like Jamie Lee Curtis tho)

the immortal figrin d'an and the modal nodes, appearing nightly at a hive of scum and villainy near you!
The cantina band from Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977, sometimes known by alt title (fie!)). Three humanoids w/ bulbous, bony-looking heads & sharp black suits play what appears to be 2 wind instruments (L & R sides) and a keyboard-or-string instrument (middle)

not quite the same b/c lacks the haunted aspect (mostly), but for "around the coast of north atlantic islands", Tim Robinson's Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage is a goodie:

(vol 2 also good but that's interior of the island. occasional ghosts hither & yon in both vols)
Photo of the cover of a vintage edition of Tim Robinson's non-fiction tour of the coast of Aran, "Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage" The cover shows a dolphin in water by a stylized cliff(?--something rocky), with sky around

Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941). One line: "I wanna see that guy. I've got some unfinished business with him. I need him like the axe needs the turkey" Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955). One line: "It's a hard world for little things" Anouk Aimee in Lola (Jacques Demy, 1961). One line: "C'est moi, c'est Lola" Jean Hagen (plus Douglas Fowley & Gene Kelly) in Singin in the Rain (Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly, 1952). One bit of dialogue: Lina: Gee this wig weighs a ton! What dope’d wear a thing like this? Rosco: Everybody used to wear them Lina Lina: Well, then everybody was a dope

that's a stunning painting (added alt text)
Painting shows a many-colored house or barn with spectacular yellow-gold sunburst just over the structure, pale greenish sky around sunburst, hawk in the sky. Can’t do this one justice in words; don’t think James Joyce could do it justice
