10 Weird Album Covers

Editor: rale / January 30, 2010 / Category : Music

It is quite often that album covers are as unique as the artists that are supposed to represent, but sometimes they go a little past the realm of unique and into the just plain weird. The following album covers are ones that you probably won’t recognize and if you have they are not ones that are you likely to soon forget.

Millie Jackson – Back to the S**T

This album just disturbs me on so many levels. After all who really wants to think of someone singing while sitting on the toilet and for that matter what is she wearing? Though I also feel the need to take one shoe off every time I got to the bathroom….This might be one of the album covers that is pushing boundaries just for the sake of pushing boundaries, but for whatever reason that someone thought this was a good idea…it makes our list.

The Handsome Beasts – 04

This is perhaps one of the worst thought out and designed covers I have ever seen. Handsome is probably the last word I would ever think of to describe this album cover. I cannot even imagine what the thinking may have been behind this one. Two strippers, a really horrible pose for Garry Dalaway and a dog and a pig…yeah there is just no logic or reasoning behind this one.

Wild Colonials – This Can’t Be Life

Now I am not quite sure what this album was trying to suggest by creating this bizarre family of carrots…yes carrots. Not only do these carrots look incredibly creepy but I am not sure what the purpose is of having one play the accordion and there is a little something off about the way the young carrot is sitting in the older carrot’s lap. By the way that is a sentence that I never expected to speak.

The Frivolous Five – Sour Cream & Other Delights

This is one of those covers that will perhaps give me nightmares for the rest of my life. First off how did they get those women to agree to pose like that and second why did they think that it was something anyone would actually want to see? I am also wondering what the music is like if the album is called Sour Cream and Other Delights and features five older women covered in whipped cream. I just can’t find the words to understand or explain this one.

Aphex Twin – Window Licker

Speaking of album covers which I just don’t get…I do not know what this cover is trying to say or just what exactly the thought was behind it. I have nothing against the idea of transvestites but I would think you would approach this just a tad bit differently. I also would have to wonder about the reason that guy is so happy because most men I know would not be that excited to discover that they had a pair of double D’s.

    to understand Aphex Twin's Windowlicker cover you must know his music & see his videoclips - in my opinion, he is awesome :)

    I'm surprised that Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" wasn't included in this list -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/23448498@N02/2532881766

    There were also other parodies of Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream and Other Delights", that I wasn't aware of -- http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/whipped-cream-amp-other-delights/

    Sour Cream & Other Delights - a riff on Whipped Cream & Other Delights, by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. That one, however, had a hottie barely covered in the cream.

    #6 us Richard D. James (as Conduit said). Whoever created this list should have done research.
  • Rita
    The Beatles cover was a bit of sly protest to the way their British LPs were being "butchered" by the American record companies (songs were left off the US versions of the original British LPs and then those songs were released as separate LPs). LPs with this cover was quickly recalled, and re-issued with a new photo. A genuine "Butcher Cover" is quite valuable.

    I too was going to rip on you for misunderstanding Aphex Twin... but looks like it's already been done. DURP DEE DOO.
  • Tiburon
    about the aphex tween... all his characters that future in his video must have his face... hi is not promoting transvestites and his music is cool if you like electronic music I.D.M. (inteliget dance music)and he use his face to all characters cause, as far as i know, he have a thing with the issue of the evil tween
  • alex
    The aphyx twins cover makes perfect sense when you've seen the film clip to "Window licker" the single. A excellent parody of the American gansta hiphop genre.
  • Conduit
    Aphex Twin (you dropped the P), AKA Richard D James, has a tradition of putting his face in weird places. Similarly, the Chemical Brothers make sure their faces appear in every video. Check youtube for Aphex Twin videos, such as "Come to Daddy". He's even "composed" a track, "Mathematical Equation", with what sounds like noise, but is, in fact an image of him that is only visible if you run through a spectrograph (which is an audio frequency graph over time). Warning, though, you may be disturbed by some of his art.
  • JESUSHATESYOU
    Wow, this was probably one of the dumbest lists ever, especially considering only a couple of the covers are really just plain stupid, and even more when the reasoning for choosing the covers consist of "well I just don't get this" and "why would they think anyone would want to see that?", yes, that really is the point of album covers, to be pretty...

    that "dummy" on Dean Martin's album is a cello or conta bass case.

    The Frivolous Five were parodying Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipped_Cream_&_Other_Delights

    The Beatles were making a statement about how Capitol Records chopped up their albums to create more product to sell.
