[Closed] The best, and worst, album covers in your collection.

Sorry about this, I'm afraid I'm going to <end of thread> the best of artwork.
Although this isn't in my collection, it would've been if it had still been at the shop when I went back, but some bastard bought it. Just happy i managed to photograph the Best Album Cover Ever.

Did someone delete my Pixies album?

I'd considered that Pixies cover 'art'. The Blacks Crows and Spinal Tap covers - not so much.

Had a quick flick through last night.

Some really, really bad stuff, some crackers too:

I really enjoyed the old 'describe an album cover' thread.
🙂

Absolutely love that Thelonius Monk cover. I've got all the Incredible String Band albums. Some howlers there ....

Best: Anything by John Dyer Baizely

Worst..

Any number of godawful 80's and 90's Metal bands but recently, the latest Prodigy seemed to have precious little put into it, it's just.. dull, especially considering the squillion pound budget it would have had.

Talking of pron, I recently bought an album by Alex Smoke, "Love Over Will". I think it's the most NSFW (or NSFchildren) sleeve I've ever seen. Features a hermaphrodite erm, you know... masturbating.. on some rocks.
This is the image minus the self-pleasurer

Q&A between me & Alex on his [url= https://alexsmoke.com/2015/11/17/new-album-love-over-will/#comments ]blog[/url] (Note the image is visible if you scroll up on that page!)

I think the worst may be Boxer's album. I won't post it here to save the mods The work of deleting it.

Embarrassingly I have a copy of that! -^^^^^

Lot's of great covers have already been shown.
I think my favorite has to be Brain Salad Surgery.

Nice that Globalti. I've signed up for a Kickstarter thing where you can hang your albums (8 albums iirc) on the wall in a display. Easy to change and/or remove to play. Will pass the link on if anyone interested.

Plastic sleeves? I bought a load of plastic hanging sleeves at a record fair about twenty years ago. Used to have about 12 albums hung up in my lounge.

When threads like this, music related, come up on here I often wonder if some of you make up the Bands and their Band names..

No, like velcro frames by the look of it.

Usually the bands make up their own names.

How about this:
