It bears repeating. It's such a horrible cover it's made the guy on the right throw up on the jukebox.

Wow not even the fact that I really fancy Ellis-Bextor could save that for me.

The gams + heels are almost selling it for me.

It looks like it should be an album of kids songs but it's a greatest hits album.

I ordered this from the website, which uses that shitty font making me wonder if it was a fake site

Hey, Cooper is a great font! It's just totally ruined here, like the poor helpless kids who have to take part in those god awful American pageants.

The Sophie Ellis-Bextor one is ironic, surely?

^ Really weird that I just compared the artistic direction of Sophie Ellis-Bextor cover to child pageantry and then that crops up.

Pretty much, and probably designed to appeal to kids (and moms (mothers)), based on her Instagram lockdown videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_LYIe3fRjw.

Oh my goodness, got a bit flustered watching that - and it's not because there were kids in the room!!!

Still though, ironic/cheesy intent or not, that cover art is an absolute stinker.

my copy comes with a signed setlist rather than a signed photo (which I assume is just of the cover). I've got a much more tasteful signed photo from 20 years ago of her anyway.

My parents had the one on the right. Formative. Fuck the Beatles.

I love Yello to bits, and they've got a new album called 'Point' coming out at the end of this month.
But the artwork for their albums really has gone from sublime to pretty bloody awful in recent years, and this latest one is no exception.

Yes, their minimalist style over the last few albums have been appalling, nearly as dull as the music, sadly. Last good cover? Zebra? Baby? Flag...probably Flag. Baby had some good single sleeves, but the mullet was awful.

Yeah, I love the songs on 'Baby', but was never really a fan of the artwork for that one.  Like you say, Dieter's hair was horrendous. 
Last half-decent cover in my opinion was Zebra.

Dare I ask why it was banned in the UK? It must be pretty damned blue if it was suppressed in the land that spawned Judge Dread, Chubby Brown and Derek Jarman. Does it make you see it going in inside your head?
