This one cracked me up, too. The first thing I thought was that Joyce looks just like Ana Gasteyer from the SNL sketches with Will Farrell.
I’m with voguevixen, I liked the “Twelve Top Hits” cover, and the Reverend reminded me of my Mom’s Bing Crosby records.
AAAAAAH! It’s almost the same outfit even! Just a different colour!
BTW, I found this cover on eBay to be mildly disconcerting.
Or perhaps it’s just the entire concept.
Rolling Stone once called Billy Joel’s “River of Dreams” the worst album cover of all time, but I think that has more to do with the magazine’s ongoing feud than the action merits/demerits of the cover.
Hey, I’ma a fan, too.
But a male camel toe on an album cover?
Blechh!
I had no idea Dustin Hoffman had an album.
Can anyone here read Japanese? What does this one say:
one little nitpick: I almost certain that is actually Chinese, because the total abscence of Kana characters.
Hmm… I’m a little rusty… but I believe it says: “Frightening Clown Will Eat the Children, They Flee in Terror, Pedal Faster, Pedal Faster.”
<Bart>Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me! Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me!</Bart>
Looks Chinese, as some of the characters are different form the Japanese versions. Seems to be a pretty generic title, though.
“Children’s something song collection”
“National Elementary(?) Standard Teaching Materials, Second Volume”
“Eastern (probably place name) Youth Group something (choir?)”
On the “12 Top Hits” album - the girl on the left - what has happened to her legs?!?
Oh, well her fancy, red, argyle socks were on way too tight. It was quite tragic, really.
They’re there, tucked back on the seat.
Though, at first glance, she does look like a double amputee.
This one takes the prize: http://www.panix.com/~baldwin/coup-cover-300.jpg
My guess: “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Pre-school Years”
It’s definitely Chinese, and by the names of the organizations involved, I’d say it’s likely from Taiwan. Anyway, my translation (with aid of dictionary) isn’t far from yours:
Chilren’s Song Special Collection
National Elementary School (system) Standardized Teaching Materials, Vol. 2
Central Eastern Children’s Choir
What, no mention of Yesterday and Today?
No way dude…the Butcher cover kicks ass!!!
Iron Maiden’s newest album cover looks like someone spent six minutes with Photoshop. Can’t really compare with the others in this thread, but it’s quite a step down for a band with some of the greatest covers in heavy metal history.
And ELP’s Tarkus cover is great! But Love Beach is certainly cringe-worthy…
I can’t get past that ‘Orleans’ cover…that’s so wrong!
OK, I have no idea who they are, but let’s name them 1,2,3,4 & 5 based on their position left to right.
Why is # 3 staring down at #5’s wang?
Why is #5 holding #4’s hand? Where’s his other hand? His elbow looks kinda bent…is he…SWEET JESUS!
Is #2 fondling #1’s nipple?
#2 & #4 seem awfully happy to be pushed up against the others.
