The World's Worst Album Covers

October 29th 2008 01:24
Organ


Words would not do justice to some of the truly awful album covers there’s been over the years.

We’ve probably all had one – or seen one in Aunty Ethel’s collection – be it ‘Mrs Mable sings Slovenia’s Greatest Piano Accordian Hits’ or Horace Pile’s solo tribute album – “I Play with Myself”.

So without further ado - in to pay homage to an email I received just the other day with a few of the classics contained – what are some of the worst album covers you’ve come across.

Surely the smirk on the record company's creative team was broader than a proverbial Cheshire Cat's.

It has to have been something that slipped through the cracks . . . doesn't it?

Hmmmmm

Look up an album called Mad Butcher.

I am sure it is far worse.

hahahaha MNG,

How many advertising brains hung out in the corporate think tanks for these, making more than the artists themselves I bet!

ZIP, ZAP, RAP?

ooh too funny!

The Handless Organist? All My Friends Are Dead? These people have serious issues, and everyone is making fun of them?

Nah. Just joking. It's funny.

I'm getting on Limewire to try to find the songs. I gotta hear them...

I'm a little worried about that one . . . but of course curiosity will get the better of me.

Thanks - I think?

Cheers

Worst still - they probably all reclining on sundecks somewhere in the Carribean congratulating themselves on their work . . . ouch!

Oh the pain!

Stay well

Now there's a treat for the weekend . . .

Download these then get a few unsuspecting friends around for a dinner party and enjoy the look of delight on their faces . . . .

hmmmm - I think I just made myself laugh with the thought.

Cheers and thanks for dropping by

There was an album by Millie Jackson, with a picture of her sitting on the crapper with her panties around her ankles, and a constipated look on her face. Now THAT is a class act...

I think it was actually called Back To The Shit or something similar

I don't know where you're going with that one - but best I leave it well enough alone.

Yep - that would just about do it. Tasteful - kinda girl you'd wanna take home to meet the folks really.

I'm sure she was flush with success.

I would like to add a couple to your list MNG.

Those Germans are a strange group of people, as evidence I give to you the Hoff. Not to mention the original cover of The Scorpions album "Virgin Killer". I will not share an image of it, but for those that do not know the original cover had a naked pre-pubescent girl sitting with a glowing light emerging from her netherregions.

David Hasselhoff - Knight Rocker

Sadly it was Hoff singing, and not KITT.

Also, that Zip, Zap, Rap one. . . I REALLY think they should have made it Zap, Zip, Rap. Sure it doesn't rhyme as well, but think about the cover image and fit it in that way.

From your private collection buddy?

I can't believe you've included The Hoff - that's sacrilege!

Keepin it real champ . . .

I guess at least they have pictures... I would have to say that the 'wporst' covers are scrappy bits if discolored paper that's turning yellow and has no words or picture on - such as my olds' 78's! (These can be termed amusing, the yellowing paper sacks cannot, lol)
