Worst album covers thread ?

[Brindabella]

There are some shockers listed here especially those from 50's, 60's, 70's but there is one from the 80's that every time I look at my copy I internally groan and say to myself "Someone chose this"......same artist I think that did the Meatloaf Bat out of Hell cover I suspect.

Those wings must be a right pain when you're trying to play the guitar...

Hell, I bought this one for the cover. Also another reminder that Major Label don't guarantee good cover artwork:

You bought this one?

Some of the above are altered for comedic effect (like the Chet & Dave "The Gospelites", based on https://www.amazon.com/Gospelites-Vinyl-Gospelite-Recording-Stereo/dp/B01HU8WQVA) but this one was never a record cover.

It's from https://www.reddit.com/r/fakealbumcovers/comments/5ua0ft/yvette_oldemeyer_shredding_for_satan/ (note the name of the subreddit board), constructed using this Popular Electronics cover: http://www.rfcafe.com/references/popular-electronics/images/dec-1957-popular-electronics-cover.jpg (though the "throbbing" vibrato is good all on its own.)

Yeah; a simple Photoshop to add an 'r'...

The Demolition Doll Rods from Detroit had some pretty good/bad album covers:

You bought this one?

Hell yeah! How often does ya get to see a purdy gal -- or anyone else? -- holding a "Dano" @ LP cover art?

Uh... So you bought the December 1957 issue of Popular Electronics? Or a picture of a fake album cover?

Wayne Cochran, he and his band were one high-energy unit! Probably better to see than to listen to...

Saw Wayne and his C.C. Riders in a club over 40 years ago and remember it like it was yesterday. The band gets things going with a couple of tunes (and they were tight...tighter than a dead rat in a beer can) then Wayne makes his entrance on a Harley...black leather, pompadour bubbleshag and all. He GOT DOWN big time. Big time. Must've been at least a ten minute version of "Harlem Shuffle". Things just got wilder and wilder...Wayne whipped an empty vodka bottle through the club's suspended ceiling to wild applause and that just spurred him on. What a night!
