Greg Staples had posted this on Facebook and some of these are hilarious.
They are a collection of the worst music covers (vinyl) Ive ever witnessed which led me to think there
must be many more covers both music and book that need to be shared.
Here are a couple of the Music covers that actually got made.

One i forgot...

When i first saw this i thought either..
(A) He's back on the heroin
or
(B) He's crashed his motorbike again
when he decided to do this album
Have you seen the song titles in that 'My Pussy..' album?
'Sadies's still got the rag on' :o
'I tried it everywhere' :-[
'He forgot his rubbers' :lol:
'Tony's got hot nuts' :-\

We have that Billy Idol CD and it's BRILLIANT!
Does he sing '' It's a...nice day for a...white Christmas!! '' on it?
You do realise he walks among us:

Christ on a bike. i didn't realize he had released any as singles.....
I hope you soon to be cool dudes rush out (or tap a few keys) to buy this, as in only a few months time it will be the festive season and you will all enjoy playing it along with your Christmas Elvis & Boney M CD's :D
I came across this earlier on goodshowsir.co.uk

The description sold it to me: "Like early Dungeons and Dragons manual covers, but cruder, with an astronaut threatening Godzilla with a giant pencil tied to a notepad on his back. Oh, and a chick on an altar wearing a skintight rosy pink bodysuit, because this is spiritual writing, darnit!"
I now want this very badly.

That belongs in the 'Would You..?' thread. And even Jesus would answer 'f**k no, and I let Roman soldiers nail me!'

Man, that is beautiful. But how could the text inside live up to that cover?
I always admired the awfulness of this post-punk offering in my collection. Despite the dodgy photo, those colours are pretty much accurate. A special mention goes to the metal comb sticking out the jacket pocket.

This book was bought for me by a friend recently, and is apparently something of a classic:

That there is doing a damn good job of emulating the style of old Ladybird children's books, so I don't think it counts.
I'm really not quite sure how Eric Carmen ever got away with attempted rape on the cover for his 1980 album "Tonight You're Mine".
Even Spinal Tap would have baulked at that.

And the opening track is entitled "It Hurts Too Much"...

If that's the quality of the babes on offer, it's no wonder Jesus has risen. Phwoar! :D I'm going to find my glasses so that I can get a better look.
I found this little pic after a quick 'Worst Cover' serch.

What a wally.
Is that last one by Roger?
I don't know, but those covers could be before and after shots.

Mention of Roger reminds me... There really was no excuse for this one:

Ahhh Metal Church. May have to drag some of mine out to listen to.
Worst, as in shocking.
Scorpions. Virgin Killer.
No image as even I can't tolerate the image of a naked child dipicted thus so.

Surely the lass on the right is none other than a young Susan Boyle before she was beset by werewalrusitis?
