I love the King Crimson one, as jarring as it is. I also love..er...LOVELESS. I think it's the perfect visual accompaniment to the album (it looks like it sounds).
Tom Millar must be smitten repeatedly with a mallet, once again, for citing the Joke (not least a cover I happen to love...is Jaz laughing, crying, having a spazz out? Why aren't the boys behind him reacting?)
Black Sabbath's PARANOID's cover is so bad that it's wonderful.

In 1989, CBS Records had the nerve to release The Wizard of Oz soundtrack on CD with this cover, evidently drawn for a junior high school art class and bought at a garage sale for a dollar:

Looking at a cover offerede for Atomic basie and it does look like a cheap knock off of the cover I'm familiar with it having. I have it with a picture of the mushroom cloud from an atomic blast , not with the photo of an older Basie over it. I can't see what the image somebody claimed it looked like a cheap knock off of since the image URL is dead. Not sure fi the cover I'm familiar with was the original one but the lp's late 50s isn't it? SO it'd be likely to be one of the earlier ones using an image like that if it was.

THere are some odd choices in the rest of this thread, the one that comes to mind is Ege Bamyasi. Thunk it was a really great use of found art myself.
I'm assuming that that was just a can of a widely available product that had been photographed and stuck on the cover. Since i thought I''d heard something along the lines of one of the band members coming across such a can with their band name which I think means 'Life'or 'ánima' or something to that effect in Turkish. & that was why there was a firm making healthy food products for presumably the predominantly turkish market of which that was an example.

I think Nantucket are my favourite band that I've never heard.

One I dont really understand is the INXS 'X' cover - its now the 90s, you're at your post-Kick commercial zenith, toured stadiums, and are proper adults and everything..
Why the fuck would you put out a cover like that?
(And I like the singles)

― seb mooczag (NickB), Saturday, 19 December 2015 21:39 (ten years ago)
is it common knowledge that Meat Loaf was signed to Motown? because I had no idea.
― small doug yule carnival club (unregistered), Saturday, 19 December 2015 21:53 (ten years ago)
