(More) bad album covers

Bad album, bad cover

I walked into one place of work recently. There was a pile of old vinyl long players on the desk. It’s taken a while, but I’ve learned, in these situations, to keep my gob shut and wait and see.

Left to my own devices, I would’ve said something like: “you are taking the p*ss here, right?” I went to the pictures with my dad to see 2001 and The Exorcist, my mother dragged me to watch singing bloody nuns and Nazis in jackboots lonely goatherding and eidelweissing on for hours and hours and hours…

Maddy Genets, ladies and gentlemen, and her ensemble, ready to kick ass.





















The Reverend (and his pipe) in (the) Rhythm (method), including Tiny Bubbles.



There’s what were they thinking?




















I mean, someone had to know they’d be cutting that hole out of the middle there, right?

More what were they thinking, but this could be someone with a GSOH:






















Finally, just plain frightening:
