barneyg42 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Don't know how this got into my Facebook photos, I think someone got it from a bootsale for a crappy birthday present many moons ago! I just loved the way there was no room for orchestra!!!

bartelby Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Although I like the album, the cover is just truly awful in all aspects. I purposely bought it on picture disc so I didn't have anything to look at when it was playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nice to see a couple of new suggestions here - the usual suspects have been done to death on FB etc. Here's my nomination, released only last year: LOLz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of a really bad album cover from the ones I own, probably because back in the day, album art was such a big part of the purchase.

BassTractor Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 This is only one of tens of thousands of similar covers from the nordic "dansband" genre, and I'm deliberately avoiding posting a picture of the dansband band Gert Jonnys.

MoonBassAlpha Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The Weather Report one in blue with red letters on it shows an amazing lack of effort. I think the album may be called "Weather Report", really? After 12 albums, that's all they could come up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So very many bad album covers out there.... and, at the risk of judging a book by its cover, probably so many bad albums! But what about good albums with bad covers? Two of my favourite artists are Peter Hammill and Todd Rundgren, and they've both been guilty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
