I’m sure someone has at some point posted a link to [this site](http://www.io.com/~dork/records/mainL.html), but it was new to me.

There’s some really funny stuff there.

Unhalfbricking? Oh-kay.

Anyway, I like [this](http://www.io.com/~dork/records/pages/DontEddie.html) one too.

Are you insinuating that it’s not bizarre?  
Both the title and the cover leave me wondering whether it’s possible to consume that amount of drugs and release an album _and_ seemingly leave the ageing couple in the foreground blissfully unaware…

This [one](http://www.io.com/~dork/records/pages2/MFswinging.html) is actually a Led Zeppelin bootleg. Clever way to hide the stolen goodness inside. 😉

I’m sure most folks are familiar with this album cover, but for those who aren’t, here is a link to the album cover for the group “Blind Faith” (which Eric Clapton founded after leaving Cream).  
**WARNING !!** - Not to offend anyone, the album cover consists of a girl in her early teens - topless ! Amazing this was on an album cover from 1968 !!!

Okay, I nearly went nuts as I browsed through the entire Bizarre Records site initally linked.

Yikes! Two words, Mr. Clapton: child pornography.

Another one along those lines is the cover to Led Zeppelin’s “Houses of the Holy.” A bunch of naked little girls climbing up a big pile of rocks. Someone in that band must be a closet pedophile.

It wasn’t considered child pornography at the time.

More pornographic was the notorious cover for [Mom’s Apple Pie](http://www2.arnes.si/~ksmmazz/plosce/page06.html). Unfortunately, the picture is small, but look closely at the pie.

Come to think of it, this may have influenced the movie **American Pie**.

That one got caught. Subsequent covers had the offending image bricked up and Mom was shedding a tear.

[Another banned cover](http://members.aol.com/DThorn88/boxer-blb.htm) by the group Boxer.

…“Here Come The Lesbians?”

…

…

…

…man, I just don’t know WHAT the hell to say to that.

As was, no doubt, the lesbians’ intention.

I just keep thinking, “What kind of reaction would America have had to the exact same song with ONE WORD changed?”

“Here come the faggots?”

“Here come the homos?”

“Here come the gay guys?”

And would it still be as hilarious?

Does “Here Come the Lesbians” make anyone else think of the Eurythmics?

\*Here come the lesbians  
Falling in my bed with their mammaries  
Falling in my bed with their massage lotion…

Ooooh here they come again…\*

Back to the OP’s website, I’m quite taken by the cover from [Little Joe & the Latinaires](http://www.io.com/~dork/records/pages3/spaceArriba.html). “Mas!” indeed!
