NSFW- Album Covers _ NSFW - Page 2

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?

tasteless?

There are no so many records in China as in the USA. I searched some covers.

Don't forget the great original "Moontan" cover - of which I still have my original copy -, before it got replaced with the stupid closeup shot of a gold earring hanging from an ear.

One of my all time favorite covers was Cheech & Chong's Big Bambu. It had a huge rolling paper inside. I'm sure it might be worth some money today had I not done as I'm sure most people did back in the 70's and tried to actually use the paper.

When did they start the parental stickers?

I almost forgot the Stones...Sticky Fingers.

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.

According to wiki some labeling started in 1985, but that particular standardized label was instituted in 1990 with "help" from Tipper Gore.
