On our way back from the football a couple of weekends ago, Sam and I stopped in at an exhibition of Bizarre Album Covers that was being held in Huddersfield.
There were some very funny and very dubious covers included, and we were asked to vote for our favourites - plus, Sam got a free cookie so it was definitely worth the trip.
I mean, Pet Sounds!?! That's a classic, man!
What's the worst album cover in your collection? Certainly not this one...
I've always hated the cover of Trout Mask Replica.
ReplyDeleteIt's not particularly nice, but it is quite literal.
DeleteSome of those are very disturbing indeed and nothing in my collection comes close. I don't have a problem with Pet Sounds but probably because it's just so familiar now, and it contains some of the finest songs of the decade.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of interest, what did you and Sam vote for as your favourite bizarre cover?
Nor sure about Sam, but my Number #1 was Surprise Party, because it looked like a scene from some dodgy 70s horror film.
DeleteThe Peter Rabbit cover freaks me out and I would never, ever want to serenaded by Richard Hayman. As for Ken, Gary and Carlos, just nooo........
DeleteTMR amongst the worst, but this is the best:

All Wrapped Up by The Undertones - Not Suitable for Vegetarians
ReplyDeleteOh god, I shouldn't be looking at these just before going to bed, what has been seen cannot be unseen...
ReplyDeleteCan't think of anything in our collection which can match these but, if you've not come across it before, there are some corkers here https://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/worst-album-covers
