Was that the one with the two girls covered in chocolate and cream? That cover made me feel all fluttery inside.

What's so embarassing about the "Space Ritual" cover? What's extra- cool about it is that it opens up to become the biggest fold-out I've ever seen.

Gangsta Boo, the loving female that gave the world such jems as Suck A Little Dick and Nasty Trick.
Their was an album cover of a supposed fetus in a toliet from I think Necropolis records. Can't remeber the band name for the life of me.
Im not offended by those Cash Money record covers as their just too hilariously stupid. There was one with some gangstar on the cover and bombs all over the sky that was a riot.

Hey, no-one's mentioned the Royal Trux one with the somewhat revolting toilet pic on the cover.

I never even noticed the butt shot on that record until my mother pointed it out one day in the car. She then looked through the booklet and found the gay porn story about the sewage worker. It was all kind of awkward.

I bet. As I described on another thread, I was working a late shift at the office earlier in the week and had wrong assumed everyone had gone home. I put on Horse Rotorvator really loudly, and a copy editor came into my office -- looking alarmed -- during "The Anal Staircase". Ummmm....awkward.

the good thing about being Italian it is that your mother generally can't understand the lyrics. i could listen to all the most offensive songs without any problem - my mum even liked that really obscene marc almond song called "catch a fallen star".
but you had to be careful with album covers...

I'm a little disappointed in subtle and lyrical jazz guitarist Jim Hall for doing a "feeding her the sausage" album cover.

New Morrissey album to thread.

Who I am kidding, as if I'm going to buy a new Morrissey album.

can't believe no one has defended this since alex posted it in 2005. it's a great cover, makes me want to check out music by scatology

compare it to this album cover from acclaimed tastemakers LCD Soundsystem

I still cannot believe that LCD cover is real and not just one of those generic placeholders that sites like to use on upcoming big releases w/ no available cover art

^^ nailed it. it's a stock image.

hard disagree on this one, the Drag City records have awesome covers

― flappy bird, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link

When I was a teen I would've been pretty embarrassed if my parents found eureka tho. Sure they're good covers ya

my contribution to this thread would be every single Gary Numan album. it's kind of charming how consistently bad they are, even to the present day.
