A song is worth a thousand pictures


Pulp International presents a nice collection of record covers from femme fatales, bad girls and sexploitation stars:
"The other day we realized that nearly all of our femmes fatales released records at some point, so we have a megapost of sleeves below representing a fraction of these multi-talented women’s musical output. We’ve heard most of the music, believe it or not, and while its quality varies, we do suggest you check out both Marilyn Chambers and Reiko Ike—their simulated orgasms are quite pleasing to the, er, ears. "

Cryptic Covers


Today's cryptic album cover features a hastily assembled tableau of Man Examining Harmonica and Ignoring Nearby Parasol. The music is pretty good, I especially liked Beer Barrel Polka (Barrel de Chopp).

Viejo Pickup



I never knew Leif Garrett, Rip Torn, and Keye Luke were in a band together,Grupo GT indeed.

Who else loves looking at obscure and dorky record sleeves? Viejo Pickup does, apparently.

Singapore a Go Go



I love looking at sites such as LP Cover Lover, but don't visit regularly because of the frustration of not being able to hear the music as well. Fortunately I was easily able to locate the music from the cover above--and a lot more great music--at Radio Diffusion (scroll to the very bottom of the page for Yvonne & the Sparklers).

Dany Montano


Should I even bother to pretend that I would recommend this record by Dany Montano if it weren't for the delightfully inappropriate cover? Well, I actually listened to it AND liked it.

La Cucaracha


I love this vintage record sleeve from Los Que no se Consiguen depicting a startled cockroach (one of those sassy utensils probably switched on the lights suddenly) and some grooovy log-letters. You can also get a completely un-ironic version of La Cucaracha there, should you have need of such a thing.

Album cover artistery: Lover's concerto


Album cover art: Yvonne mé Lallas - Lover's concerto, posted by Herr Dryck, the Swedish dude running the very visual and very fun blog for awful album cover art (Katastrofala Omslag).

About the above cover he says:
"Finns det ett speciellt uttryck för när man kräks så häftigt att det sprutar rakt fram genom näsan?"
(Transl~ "Is there a specific expression for when vomiting so forceful it's squirting right out of your nose?")

Delicious, Delicious, Garbage



K-TEL - a wunderbar compendium of musical compendia a la albums-you-buy-in-the-grocery-store type. Plenty of hidden treats, mainly, possibly all, from the vinyl. Hey where ya gonna get "Dead Skunk" and Slade on the same record? Huh?!? Tell me!

Red China Rocks

Uploaded by Rockalain on Lp Cover Lover.

" I’m glad to propose this funny LP cover of a 1970’s UK Rock & Roll Band “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Allstars”. Their attempt at a Red China tour was a disaster. The Chinese were not ready to hear this kind of music in the Seventies. The story goes that they played just one show before they were asked to leave the country. Maybe they were the first rock and roll band to play in China? "

She includes a section record sleeves of recordings by artists he worked with. There's a seperate section of the most famous one among them: Heintje

Absolutely safe for work ;-)
