I remember seeing that when it came out. I liked the Ramones. I liked hip-hop. I did not go for it.
LP Cover Lover is good for some laughs:

I used to own a copy of this. It got lost in the college shuffle, unfortunately.
Also, it's actually a really good record.

I've never understood why Millie has one shoe off. Why one shoe?

Simply to be as disgusting as possible. One shoe rather than two seems worse by the way.

Hirsche Nicht Auf Sofa's Melchior. I love this drawing.

We just got rid of all our records (probably about 15 thousand of them) at the southern gospel station I work at. Bad album cover collectors would have had a field day going through them...
-

I think it's an Abbey Road-type of thing. One can speculate the meaning of Paul's bare feet but the way he tells it he was just hot during the photo shoot and kicked off his shoes.
I suspect there's a similar answer for Millie's missing shoe.
Occam's razor, people.

That Louvin' Brothers album is really good. I used to design album covers, and at our offices, all the AD's would hang up albums that they were proud of or particularly liked. Satan Is Real was the one that universally appeared on everyone's wall, including mine. We should have played that at office parties.

No kidding. Easily one of the worst album covers of last year - and recognized as such by shovel.com, as I recall.

I love how Benny has chosen chest hair as his undershirt. Probably as warming as a Tee. The 70's understood the concept of "manly."

Dunno if you all have seen these already, but they're pretty awesome -- if the Wu-Tang Clan had been on Blue Note.

It's a great idea, but they could've been 10 x better executed, in my very humble (and not very Photoshop-skilled) opinion. Love Wu, love Blue Note, but something about them is just... off. I don't know.
-
I think they would look better if I spaced them out more -- they look pretty awesome on the guy's Flickr site. I'll try that.
-
Yeah, I saw them a couple of days ago on the guy's site - don't wanna sound like a grouch, but they just don't do it for me.
-
Are those for real?
Having worked at hip-hop labels, I can tell you that people there frequently miss the point of a form or genre, or just want to do the shorthand. Like someone who reads the jacket sleeve and assumes that he's gotten the jist of the book, the surface is enough to get by.
-
Martin: fair enough! I like some more than others, particularly the ODB and the GZA.
Spoony: according to the guy's blog or Flickr site or wherever, he did it for fun because he thought the original covers sucked (most of them kinda do). So no, they're not for actual records.
-
I thought that those Wu-Tang mock-ups were great. I love all of those old Blue Note album covers. These are probably my two favorite:
(http://rowhouselogic.com/Llama/blue%20note%20363.jpg)
(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0002Y4TTW.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
And they're both awesome albums, as well.
-
My grandfather used to produce local gospel bands in the late 70's, and I always love looking through his collection.
These are some of my favorites (I'll post some of his albums eventually, they're classic)

And like hip hop labels, I am quick to shoot off my mouth. Have I learned nothing in my time on this planet?!?!
-
Pour your 40 on the block for Mike Crain. "Mourn ya till I join ya."
-
Pidgeon, did your uncle really produce those? I've seen the last two all over the web.
-
No, he didn't produce those. I just wanted to show some of my unrelated favorites. The ones he did produce are equally hilarious, though. They may be a tad creepier, too.
-
OK. Would love to see scans sometime, if you've got 'em.
-
I worked at a southern gospel station for about five years and almost any record from the 70's-late 80's is an album cover gem. Now most of them are just a picture of the family taken at the mall photo studio.

Enjoy your nightmares. Also, apparently the lady in this photo is the Babushka lady who taped Kennedy getting shot.

Hmm, that was made before Photoshop?

my absolute favorite ridiculous cd cover was something i saw in a hip-hop magazine circa '99. I can't believe that I didn't tear the page out because it was pure awesomeness. This was during the heyday of Pen N' Pixel fast and dirty bling artwork, and I'm not sure if they were responsible for this one, or if it was just one of a multitude of imitators. Killing myself for not writing down the rapper's name, because this image is now lost to memory.
Basically, it was a dude sitting at the kitchen table in his mansion (you knew it was a large estate because there was a window showing his helicopter parked outside and whatnot). A 'Mom' character was serving him his breakfast, which was cold cereal in a bowl. Instead of Frosted Flakes or Fruit Loops, it was a cereal that consisted solely of diamonds.

There's a whole series of "sexy" classical music covers here (http://hilobrow.com/2009/05/07/hilobrow-cover-art-9/), but that one's definitely the best.
