Worst post of all time?
Well, you’ve certainly whetted the interest…
I’d love to share because it’s a corker. There’s currently a gallery in the Tate Modern devoted to album covers from Peru which doubtless has some deep artistic significance to some, but is a source of mirth to those of us who fail to appreciate the political significance of a typewriter stuck to a ceiling.
What are we using for pics these days?
Here’s a link.

The group of four covers, bottom left: that’s the one I wanted post.
Butchers’ apostrophe in the bottom right.
This one is my favourite:
I particularly like the feeling of loneliness and desolation on this one
I like how the eyes follow you round the room.
Once seen, never unseen:
You can actually see the sellotape:
Aha, the White here in all it’s glory

It’ll take some besting
Thanks for mentioning this @dwightstrut. It sounds right up my street.
I found this article by Raimund Chavez where he explains the background to the exhibition

It’s this one, of course.

My reason for not being able to comment on anything for the last 6 weeks.
Apart from this!
Me too. After the 5th or 6th attempt I often just give up.
As a collector of African records I have many album covers to compete with these.
I prefer the other one.
None of the above.
I approached two of my local libraries with the hope of displaying many of my weirder record sleeves – in their foyers or art spaces but they never got back to me despite initial interest. I went to the Dundee V&A first of all and they said they were booked up with exhibitions for years to come. My flickr page is the tip of the iceberg as I’ve not even updated it for years.
This thread will surely end with someone posting the “Jesus touched my bottom” and the “deliberately bad picture of singer having a poo whilst holding a shoe” album covers… you know the ones!
I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about, but I don’t think I want to know any more.
There are a few standard ugly gospel album covers that usually get posted on threads about bad album covers. The second one is Back to the Shit by Millie Jackson… don’t go lookin’ for it… also a standard.
Gospel stuff…

Whatever you do, Carl, don’t click on this link. I think I have a spare copy if you’d like a LP. The music’s actually better than you might imagine.

I saw her live, she was absolutely barnstorming and of course, completely filthy. Most of the time you see this one shared, there’s a subtext suggesting that she was too stupid to know what the cover looks like. As per Spinal Tap’s Smell the Glove; “you should have seen the one she wanted to use…”
I thought everything boiled down to “literally worse than Hitler.”
My favourite is still “Toe Fat” by Toe Fat. Look it up and give yourself a nightmare.
Satan Is Real!!
Yeah that is my favourite Foxy. The Louvin Brothers.
That’s the one. No doubt there will be a Special Deluxe Edition shortly, branded with Charlie Kirk’s mugshot perhaps.
They don’t make them like that anymore.
I think the giant papier machier Beelzebub on Louvin Bros album gives it a certain camp charm.
A coke-infused atrocity like CSN’s charmless Live It Up on the other hand just shows contempt for not only their audience but also themselves
is that moon sausage?
