Sometimes it's tasteful and arty, other times it's exploitative and regressive, but it never fails to catch the eye. Please cite examples of both extremes!

there's a gallery of hundreds of examples (all for sale) at vinyllives.com, and i think Tony Wilds (wildsscene.com) might have a section too. that Blind Faith one is horrible - gives me a shudder every time i flick past a copy

Janes Addiction of course, though last time I played Nothings Shocking it felt really dated and lame, was I just not in the mood: C or d ?

Dwarve's BG&P was one of my failed posts (Gratuitous, Regressive, and Not-Very Shocking)

The Effective One was Blowfly, Live From Detroit. Jesus, that's crazy.

that's not how you spell Tchaikovsky ?

― lukevalentine, Sunday, 31 January 2010 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link

I guess the proper way to spell his name is Чайковский,

Tchaikovsky is just transliteration, isn`t it. Cf. Vodka and Wodka.

I think gratuitous nudity on classical albums is its own genre actually.

I guess the proper way to spell his name is Чайковский,
