This one is "Mama, Give Me A Guitar" by Jingjing and the Happy Girls

Very clever

The artist's name is AuYeung Feifei. Inside the heart: "When will he turn around again? The last stop for love"

Actually I think that it is interesting how well these meldings of cultures actually do "translate."

Vibes, you seem to be fluent in whatever language those covers are in. I appreciate the translations, especially of the one where a voice seems to be emanating fron underneath the woman' skirt. The last stop for love, indeed!

BTW, I had no intention of "picking on" Asian albums in this thread. It's just that I stumbled across THIS SITE whilst looking for jazz covers, and they also had all these cover scans, some of which just did not "translate" to this Western imagination.

But, certainly, Bev's positing is definitely in the spirit of the whole thing!

No problem, Jim. Most of the covers you posted are Chinese. I've never seen stuff like this, so I find it pretty entertaining too.

What's even more disturbing is that every one of these LP covers is from JSngry's personal collection.
