I think I like this one best:



Although they're all winners

Anyone got any other really bad album covers to share?

[GoochDogHigh5s]

thats good, but I think the original version of Approved by The Motors tops the lot.
Just looked at Google and cant get it.
Be nice if someone can post it on here

[m...wW(wwMww)Ww...m]

[TotalNightmare]

god i hope this thread catches on as these have all brought smiles to my face...

[phes]

Absolutely!

[Rats]

That Freddie Gage looks just like vic reeves doing mulligan, he's got the tits and everything.

[elderford]

Blind Faith.

I understand the idea was innocence (jail bait) meets technology (shiney aeroplane), or somesuch.

[The Region Legion]

I'd hardly call that girl jailbait, it looks like someone's beaten her in the face with an iron bar a few times.

That's probably why no one calls that child porn - because they wouldn't shag her.

[european son]

only one winner

If my memory serves me correctly, then that 'jailbait' is Ginger Bakers daughter ( No shit sherlock). How fucking weird is THEIR family.

Great album though it is, the cover to Midnite Vultures by Beck is like a spasticated cheesegrater on the eyes:

[Ambient Sheep]

<Blind Faith album cover>

I wondered when that one would come up.  Apparently it's a very good album, but I've never had the guts to buy it...and I first heard about it in 1983, long before "paedogeddon".

It's top bollocks, so to speak.

[Partridge's Love Child]

His friends aren't dead, they're just stuck time travelling into other people's bodies, righting wrongs and saying, "oh boy" at least once every 45 minutes.

Another classic example, is of course Kevin Rowlands' 'comeback' album, which sold miserable quantities due in part to the cover art.
Reluctance to display on behalf of retailers, and reluctance to be seen purchasing it, or even having to look at it by everyone else.

ha ha ha h ah a ha h ah a!

ouch...

Yeah, he did himself no favours there. He's a bit of a crazy mofo though. Apparently he was at a party once and refused to speak to anyone in anything other than quotes from Do The Right Thing. What a knob.

Hee, Hee!
Genius.

I bought that, I got the worst hacky look ever as if she thought I had my mothers pants on under my trousers.

That reminds me of when I bought a Blue single for my sister's birthday. The cover had the band all with their bronzed chests out, pouting into the camera, and I tried to be discreet when I took it to the counter, but the girl took one look at it, looked at me, and started smirking like I'd just walked in with my cock hanging out. I wanted to say "it's not for me it's for my sister" but I thought that might have sounded more suspicious...

The back view is even more disturbing  You can see Bill Ward's underpants!

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Edit: Bollocks

[Lumiere]

I actually really like the Sabotage cover...

Sabbath had a penchant for churning out AWFUL covers...check out born again, paranoid, eternal idol, seventh star....

[Chadwick]

May I just add the following old metal cobblers,

[elderford]

Christ Alive Man! If we're going to get in metal covers we'll be here forever.

Stormtroopers of Death (you know you want it as a sleeveless denim jacket back patch)

[Rats]

Dear me, you can see them now, loads of long hairs fishing around in the bloke who does iron maidens sleeves bin.

[Partridge's Love Child]

Aye, too right, Rats.  Either that, or it was done by the bloke who always sat next to him in class and copied his stuff in a desperate attempt to get something higher than a D.

That orange Style Council album cover was a bit rubbish and then some.

[El Unicornio, mang]

One of my favourite albums of all time, but a distinctly dodgy cover:

[Partridge's Love Child]

It could've been worse.  If you see what I mean.
