Album Covers That Make You Say "Uhhhh...."

[robertoart]

What's so Uhhhh...about this jsngry?

It's so damn...angular. And the sailors are maniacally goose-stepping, except for the guy down in the corner who looks like he's about to get a bayonet in the gut while holding a plate behind his back. And there's a midget girl poised to collect a urine sample from the flying goose-stepping sailors in a champagne glass. and the color-geometric combination is, like...this should not be happening, please don't look, you will not like what you see, so I'm all like, "Uhhhh....I agree, so why did you put it on an album cover then"?

Now that you put it like that...

Bad cover, good album, with O. Nelson wailing with him on the title cut IIRC.

Look at the size of that woman's hand

Is it me or is Sir John anxious to fend off that hand job?

I've looked long and hard at this cover, and I agree, he's not really looking forward to his birthday present.

You know what's weird? This cover image was photo-shopped. If you google for different cover images, you can see that her abdomen isn't actually disappearing (as if Scotty is beaming her up to the Enterprise) as it is in this image. I guess they thought the original was too sexy:

I see it - they have her hand on a fake arm of the sofa. For my post I pulled a random Ebay shot - it seems like the other listings have the unedited image. Another reason to say "uuuh?"

Brownie posted this on the 'with animals' thread, but I went 'Uhhh' when I saw it

THIS

is a skylark

I wonder if they couldn't get a skylark to balance on the microphone.

And just gave up.

I recall from a 1958 school visit to Lucerne that they played nine pins, not ten, out there. No doubt the same in Germany.

But did the pins orbit around a glass of beer, with their own independent gravity? That would make we leave the room, if I saw some hoodoo shit like that going on.
