Ugly record covers

[Pipedream]

This is so funny. The German daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung has asked it's readers to send in their worst record covers ever and now published a little "Hall of Fame of bad taste" shortlist.

Here are a couple of nice examples: 








 




Can you beat that?

Whew!!

Those are some seriously UGLY album covers Anke!! 

I wonder how many other ugly covers people will find. I know they had a lot of them back in the 60's and 70's!

I actually saw "Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs" in concert back in the 60's.

I don't have a picture of it at hand, but any of you guys remember the LP cover to 'News of the World' by Queen? That seriously traumatized this eleven-year-old kid when a classmate of mine brought her new album to school for everyone to look at (this would have been back in 1978).

         Holy serendipity;  my daughter and grandaughter were just talking about Devo... yesterday.  Said what a great thing it was, we had had a couple of Devo free decades...Please dont show that cover around everywhere..just in the off chance some young person may go nuts and start a new craze.

Yeah, that's it all right, Dot...uh...thanks(?). I admit I do have a stronger constitution at age forty.

This was one of those albums that opened up to reveal a large picture within, and I remember the picture showing the giant android peering into what seemed to be an enormous cavern, with hordes of terrified people running away from the metallic monster, those in the front of the picture shown with large, horribly expressive eyes.

Yeah, this one gave me a few bad nights back in the day.
