Glenn Shorrock, "Villain Of The Peace" (from 1982, but he deserves to be pilloried for this nonetheless)

Does the back cover have his left hand gripping his belt and the right hanging causally by the fly?

Janne Schaffer - Earmeal (1978)
Original Swedish album cover; US version is a sad Hard Day's Night ripoff (the "bunch of portrait shots from the same shoot, with the film border and stuff" genre).

Yeah that might epitomize the 80s continuation/transformation of this aesthetic. Grayer and more brightly-lit, but otherwise the same old shit.

Prob because the painting is obscures the title in several ways...

It doesn't say which Bach, does it? Based on that photo it's more likely to be Johann Christian than Johann Sebastian:

i know i know but there are only two things on the cover - a girl and a stand - and they are arranged on two different levels so you know you know
― Rae Kwoniff (NickB), Monday, 21 November 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link
also the person on the cover is sharona who is described in the song my sharona as a 'pretty little thing' so you might resonably conclude that the creep who writes the lyrics for the knack might possibly describe her using the irksome term 'little girl' so eh ...the little girls under a stand am i labouring this much?
