WTF Album Covers

(un)Inspired by utterly dreadful 'Top Of The Pops' album covers of the 1970s, it struck me that there must be hundreds, if not thousands of weird album covers out there... I don't mean strange esoteric covers with abstract art, but I mean outrageously provocative (for the time), batshit odd, or creepy as heck covers...

I'm wondering what the track list is:

Massage in a brothel?
Lay your hands off me?
Can't Touch This?

this album is all bum.

It has to include Touch Me In The Morning

TornFromTheInside · 19/08/2018 21:33

If he could find her 'morning' - you can bet he'd be touching it!

They are all shite - but weren'y half handy for rolling a big spliff upon!

SmilingButClueless · 19/08/2018 22:43

No way that these could be misinterpreted

I think at least a couple of these have been altered. God they're all horrifying though.

TornFromTheInside · 19/08/2018 23:30

There's worse out there, but good taste prevails. Some are quite offensive too, and not suitable for a 'laugh'.

I think a few have been doctored definitely (not by me!), but some of the stuff from the 70's truly was quite crass! I'm worried that most are genuine!

Ooooh Other nostalgia thread has reached its limit 😢 I was enjoying reminiscing!

TornFromTheInside · 20/08/2018 00:41

I wasn't paying attention and it's hit the limit!
I will set up a new one tomorrow (unless you fancy doing it?)

I was getting right into it too! - was really enjoying the conversation and vaguely suspected your location was close as there were too many similar fashions!

North of England?

Claw001 · 20/08/2018 00:50

No! Totally down to you! You have a way with words and have a following!

I am a southern! Although I have a few Manchesterish friends! It seems there wasn’t much of a divide when it came to style and humour!

TornFromTheInside · 20/08/2018 00:55

Oh! perhaps those fashions were national after all - hard to know at that age and did I mention soooooo long ago?

I've got loads of ideas for fun threads...

Room 101
Naffstalgia
Worst Wallpaper
....

I will think of some more! It's nice to escape into a world of naffness from time to time.

OP posts:
Claw001 · 20/08/2018 01:07

Not sure about national. It’s strange, I had a couple of friends on Facebook, both from Manchester who had similar fashion style etc. Yet other friends who were much closer, wouldn’t have a clue what I was talking about!

Meh! I don’t know! It was a enjoyable thread anyhow! Look forward to the next one.

Claw001 · 20/08/2018 01:10

Maybe it’s a chavvy city thing!

TornFromTheInside · 20/08/2018 01:13

Don't think I didn't see that - I did!!!

Claw001 · 20/08/2018 01:20

Surprised your eyesight is that good, given it was soooo long ago!

TornFromTheInside · 20/08/2018 01:30

Oi! Wotchit!

Given the smile on her face, I expect the opening track was 'The Smirk's Between My Thighs'.

Personally I think this quartet's name is a masterstroke, but the album title makes me cross.

But worryingly, where IS the missing person?

Not sure this was even acceptable in the 80s

I think getting into those shorts would be a workout in itself!

Not that I want to get into Lionel Blairs shorts of course.
