Find a buyer, make a print, collect the cash?

All I can offer without a few more details... are you wanting to offer it to the masses, or...??

The purpose for getting the releases is to cover their arse. They don't want the property owners or models to sue them if you sell the images and they're used without their consent.

Ok got it. But what will be the right path to get the release for that property and the images/artists for those two CDs ?

Find out who owns the property. In the US, this is public information and you simply need to go to the courthouse.

As for the CD covers, you'll need to contact the publisher.

The CD's might actually be trickier than just getting the musician/band's permission/release. You'd have to get a release from the record label, and potentially the original photographer/artist for the pic.

It will always be complicated to get permission to sell someone else's pictures. Even if it could be argued in court (and I'm no attorney) because you might own the CD as you bought them, the actual cover picture should/is probably copyright material. So if I were you, I would never try to sell these.
