Acting Seven - Clan Music Overdrive (Babel)

Here is the cd version of this curious and great album that contains two performances by two different bands with the same background. Almost all of the musicians comes from the Austrian avant garde music scene that is famous under names like Reform Art Unit, Three Motions or Masters Of unorthodox Jazz.

The two first tracks are credited to « Acting Seven » and the two last are from « Clan Music Overdrive ». This second band have recorded another album kindly shared by Corvimax here:

ROVA "THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS." (MOERS MUSIC, 1979)

This is the start of a series of early ROVA albums I'm planning to post.
But for some I would like to have good scans (if possible...) - so your help would be appreciated.
The scans for this post has been provided by mew23 - my thanks goes to him.

Does anyone have scans (or links leading to good scans) for:
https://www.discogs.com/Rova-Saxophone-Quartet-Cinema-Rovat%C3%A9/release/1151710
Scans for the next two are especially wanted:

https://www.discogs.com/Rova-Saxophone-Quartet-Invisible-Frames/release/2742551

The following has a reasonable good scan on discogs but a better one would be appreciated:
