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 sure a number of them aren't legit, but poetic license is allowed in the name of humour!

They are almost plausible though - as so many covers did resemble these!

It's more fun if they're real though - and there are a lot of real ones out there.

TornFromTheInside · 22/08/2018 21:23

oh I know!
I honestly would LOVE to have some of them for real in a little collection when friends visit... just to see their faces!

Haha thanks for three laugh tonight going through that lot!

Has anyone ever actually heard any of these weird titles?

I'm tempted to Google but I think it will have to be incognito mode! 😂

That Satan is Real cover has to be the inspiration for Spooky Mormon Hell Dream!

My house was on an album cover once.

I've got a raft of dreadful album covers in my shop, people rifle through and say 'how much is this?', I tilt my head, squint at the cover, realise I can't let that one go and end up saying 'it's not for sale' (to be fair I have put a sign there that says 'records not for sale', I play them in the shop - sometimes the same one all day because the record player just does that 'I'll go back to the beginning thing'.

Sorry Tatty but you simply can not say this on this thread (in particular) and NOT post a picture. Name change if you have to.

And your shop, how's that working out for you. Are you super rich and successful I love a successful businessman

TattyFrench · 22/08/2018 23:09

KeepServing ok I'm name change and find a pic.

I'm as good at running a shop as a pig is at mending a watch. I'm fucking useless. If Alan Sugar was a woman I'd be like her, except the polar opposite.

It's probably the beard!

I'm excited to see your house on the internet. I feel that by the six-degrees-of-seperation thing, it's by proxy actually MY house.
