Bad Album Cover Corner

[CJ34]

Okay, we've had a joke thread, a Darwin Awards thread - and now, back by (un)popular demand is the bad album cover thread. This is where we get to see some mind-bogglingly strange stuff like...

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/worst-album-covers/4-1.jpg

I mean...what the hell is that...?

Or how about this...

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/worst-album-covers/12-1.jpg

For the love of God....

So, yeah, keep 'em coming.

[CJ34]

Is this guy super-cool or what?

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/worst-album-covers/18-1.jpg

And what's going on with their teeth? Something not quite right here...

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/worst-album-covers/24-1.jpg

This dude has a backing band who are....whaaat....elephants..?

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/worst-album-covers/25-1.jpg

And this guy is in the middle of the sea, for some reason I can't quite fathom....

On the other hand, here's a friend of mine's website:

Cover Heaven : beautiful record covers (http://freespace.virgin.net/love.day/coverheaven/)

[CJ34]

Yes, that's a good site, Marc. But those covers are far too good for inclusion here.

Like this guy, Roger, who, I think you'll agree, isn't really multi-faceted....he's just pulling silly faces.

I well remember those "Hot Hits" records - they were ace.

Me too,2 reasons why I think they were very distinctive agree ? :D

I wonder how many people were embarassed to go into somewhere like Woolies (Woolworths ) to buy them though ? :o :D

I think Use Your Idols by The Art Of Blasphemy is ace!

http://static.metal-archives.com/images/9/2/6/3/92639.jpg

Or how about Mayhem's Dawn Of The Black Hearts album? It's a picture of their vocalist, Dead, just moments after he shot himself! Trve snvff!

[drterror666]

This is turning into bad taste cover art, thanks to me!

How about the Bloodhammer/Incriminated split EP?

http://static.metal-archives.com/images/1/4/5/7/14573_14574.JPG

Bloodhammer's Abbedissan Saatanalliset Houreet album?

http://www.blackmetal.com/scans1105/bloodhammer_abblp2.jpg

This is the back cover of the vinyl LP, but the CD had this picture on the front cover.

Hm, this is a thread on BAD cover art, but it seems to have gone over to most shocking.

I'm curently voting for Cloud's entry. That gave me the heebie jeebies.

[Fuad Ramses]

The rap world is a great source for bad album artwork.

I saw these live back in '84 and they looked just like this:

Er...

This thread has given me a brilliant laugh. The "All My Friends Are Dead" one should be transferred to a thread called "Most Depressing Album Covers", it sounds more like the name of a Type O Negative song. It also has a very similar font to that used on "I Miss You, Hugs And Kisses".

Isn't that Ken a studmuffin, it makes me want to be female, I'm digging the ginger moustache.

Oh and the Caroline Munroe one is anything but bad ;), makes me wanna go out and buy it.

I really do hate to say this CJ (and I'm probably gonna get my backside kicked next time you see me) but that guy really does bare an uncanny resemblence to your good self as evidenced below (from the forum members pics thread) :eek:

Is there something you want to tell us?

Who remembers this geezer? :cool:

Now THAT'S what I call scary!

[SimonT]

Few people seem to remember that the song, and the accompanying album, was actually film soundtrack of which Mr Hawkes was the star. Seems the song is remembered more than the film (and Mr Hawkes known more for his musical talent than his acting abilities, which doesn;t say much).

[AndyBlade]

Chesney Hawkes was the celebrity who officially opened my old comprehensive school radio station. Some cold hearted pupils let the air out of his car tyres while he was doing his thing and he had to call the RAC to get going again....

I take it he didn't have the forsight to keep a foot pump in the boot then?

Apparently not....it was a nice car too - a porsche 911 if I remember correctly. It was a pretty undignified exit for him in the end after spending the day giving an interview to open the radio staion and then playing a couple of songs in the main hall. I clearly remember one teacher fetching a bike pump and offering to do the honours for him, too!

That's what makes me laugh about people who drive these cars, they'll spend 1000's on them, but won;t fork out a fiver for a foot pump or £15 for a decent trolly jack.

That is a funny story though I shouldn't laugh as it was a bit mean. Yeah by all means shout "oi mate, you're sh^t!", that's to be expected, he probably gets/got that a lot, but to damage his belongings is a bit too much.

A friend of an ex of mine claims she shagged Chesney at some party a few years ago. She must have been desperate! :eek:

[drterror666]

We want more pictures! Chesney is plain mainstream! OK, her goes...

[SimonT]

Madre Soy Cristiano Homosexual...I couldn't have put it better myself. :D

That translates as "Mother I am Christian Homosexual"

What a title for an album?????

[drterror666]

Yes, but the beauty is that these record covers come from all over the globe. Scandinavian covers do tend to rock, though! ;)
