LP covers - the best - the worst

In this day and age of downloads it might come as a surprise that music used to come in a strange plastic disc-like format - in a cardboard 'sleeve' - with a picture and writing on it!

Some of them were really quite good, others were rubbish.

Please post your faves and knaves.


"Atom Heart Mother" - Pink Floyd.



"Meet the Residents" - The Residents

The Resident's art work does nothing for me at all.

Also bad:



Talk about tying to hard...

Butterfield will be along in a moment with some truly ghastly ones.

It is a mind bogglingly horrible cover - a bit like the Brooke Shields 'erotic' photoshoot - but about 100X worse.

This last one encapsulates perfectly the German sense of humour.

It's so ugly and naff with it's sledgehammer imagery and babies winkie - and the typeface they've used is hideous.

Great album cover; completely horrible album.




Horrible, lurid album cover; sublime album.




If the music is good, it don't matter what's on the album cover...

You should have been brigged back when you posted that gross JL & YO cover.

Also, i've noticed the software doesnt' like .jpeg files. They don't always show up or it's just me?
