Hi Frank. These look fantastic all lined up together, you could sell this as wallpaper...! The one with the cracks stands out for me, very nice. Most CD labels look like after-thoughts, none here though!
So it is, I've had a closer look on your website! Would I be right in guessing that the one in the top right corner is a volume or tone knob off a Gibson guitar...?! I did recognise one of these - I have the Smashing Pumpkins Tonight Tonight one.

Thanks, Matthew. The cracked one was a broken plate. It was for an album by Nerissa & Katryna Nields called "Love and China."

Actually it is a volume knob from an amplifier. The disc is for a Joe Jackson album titled "Volume 4."
Great, oh well, I was close... ish!
