I remember listening to this album when I was a kid. It was my mum's or my brother's, can't recall now. I have no recollection at all of any o fthe tracks on it ...but I remember very clearly listening to it a lot, using mum's super duper technologically superior, individually volume controlled headphones...I used to like the fact that I was wearing headphones and so were the chicks on the album cover ;P

Another classic...

And then there was this controversial cover to a superb supergroup album, Blind Faith...

I read the story behind that one. Seems they spotted the 14 year old that would be perfect for the picture and approached her parents with a deal. After considerable discussion, the parents decided it would be inappropriate for a 14 year old to be naked... but they could use her younger sister.

Banned Hendrix

To keep you a breast of Hendrix' international releases we'll tell this European cover for 1968's "Electric Ladyland" was of course banned in the US. The US cover for Ladyland had only the band, no girls. Of the two covers this is the rarest which has been out of print for years.

Framed in the RAPS Record Album Frame the Cover Art is eternally collectible, this is a rare Hendrix find because there was limited European printing and it was banned here. The record is included which is among Hendrix' best releases. We can not imagine the value of this excellent condition piece diminishing, there just aren't many of these around.

There's something not right with this album cover
gives me the creeps. Not one of their best

Now there's an understatement.

I think the contrast was set too low when it was printed.

I never knew my nephew worked with Black Sabbath.


So, with respect to Blind Faith... how is it that everybody involved, including us here looking at it, weren't thrown in the slammer?

Wikipedia has some interesting information regarding the album cover for "Born Again."

I've never listened to it, but with Ian Gillan singing, I suspect it's halfway decent. He's no Ozzy or Dio, but he's alright. I've read that the initial production was God-awful, but it was remastered not too long ago.

Ministry's "Dark Side of the Spoon" was banned from Kmart because of its cover art:

I saw Black Sabbath with Gillan as front man and it was weird Sabbath playing "Smoke on the Water" and Gillan singing "Iron Man"
Too bizarre for words..
They spent all this money on a Stonehenge stage set that was too big to fit any where they played on that tour ,what drugs and ego's can do for a band :D

Aw to be blessed with being a dumb assed redneck. I have no clue as to what you speak, but I do know about 45s, 78s and 33 1/3s.
Did you'll buy the album for the flappin cover?

If I bought an album now, it would solely be for the cover. Well, maybe I'll eventually get another turntable, because it'd be cool to listen to stuff from Miles on vinyl. But all my music is on CD or MP3 now. Album cover art is like fine art to me...and a lot of it is so cheap now.

Sounds like a scenario straight out of Spinal Tap...
