Sell records, Billy.
In the US during the 60s and 70s, if you walked into a record store, you would see thousands of different records for sale. Many of them sold because the cover art grabbed the attention of the buyer rather than the music inside.
It was a time of excess, testing limits, pushing boundries and annoying the older generation. Isn't the same thing happening with the young people in China today?

Don't think you would get away with this one nowadays

tasteless?

The Scorpions again found their album cover stirring up controversy in the US. The album was initially wrapped in paper, then later released with a black cover and a blue scorpion instead of the scandoulous bubblegum photo.

What about Guns'n'Roses original cover to "Appetite For Destruction"?

Anthrax's "Fistful Of Metal"

Anything by Cannibal Corpse

I can't find the one of the nubile young girl sitting on the urinal, ridding the men's room of graffiti that included her name and phone number, because I can't recall the band. So here's the infamous original cover to The Beatles: Yesterday, Today, etc, as well as John and Yoko's original "Two Virgins" cover.

Old sex...New Sex...It all sells records......

I remember listening to this album when I was a kid. It was my mum's or my brother's, can't recall now. I have no recollection at all of any o fthe tracks on it ...but I remember very clearly listening to it a lot, using mum's super duper technologically superior, individually volume controlled headphones...I used to like the fact that I was wearing headphones and so were the chicks on the album cover ;P

Elspode · 09-11-2007, 11:34 PM

Another classic...

Elspode · 09-11-2007, 11:36 PM

And then there was this controversial cover to a superb supergroup album, Blind Faith...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-12-2007, 07:53 AM

I read the story behind that one. Seems they spotted the 14 year old that would be perfect for the picture and approached her parents with a deal. After considerable discussion, the parents decided it would be inappropriate for a 14 year old to be naked... but they could use her younger sister.

Banned Hendrix

To keep you a breast of Hendrix' international releases we'll tell this European cover for 1968's "Electric Ladyland" was of course banned in the US. The US cover for Ladyland had only the band, no girls. Of the two covers this is the rarest which has been out of print for years.

Framed in the RAPS Record Album Frame the Cover Art is eternally collectible, this is a rare Hendrix find because there was limited European printing and it was banned here. The record is included which is among Hendrix' best releases. We can not imagine the value of this excellent condition piece diminishing, there just aren't many of these around.
