Yeah the fonts are a bit nasty, I didn't even consider them. I think I've blocked them out over the years so now when I pick up the album all I see is the photo

Rage Against the Machine's eponymous debut album:
"The cover features a photo of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, burning himself to death in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đ́nh Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The photograph drew international attention and persuaded U.S. President John F. Kennedy to withdraw support for Ngô Đ́nh Diệm's government. It was taken by Associated Press correspondent Malcolm Browne; a similar photograph earned the award of World Press Photo of the Year in 1963."

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Not quite sure what they were thinking of with that one .

It was released in the UK with that photo too. More innocent days I think.

Oh my god Gwyn that was truly funny!
I was already chuckling by "Ken - By Request Only" (thank goodness for small mercies, Ken....) but splitting my sides at the sinister "Julies Sixteenth Birthday" - in which a middle aged man is clearly depicted 'grooming' an understandably taciturn girl who has just turned 'legal'.

Gwyn, your worst ever are truly gob smacking in their awfulness! I could see where Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer found inspiration for their C&W duo.
BTW, not sure which category El Dingos post is in.

I am seriously thinking of asking the mods to ban Gwyn from the forum for 7 days, posting a link to those album covers was totally unacceptable.
I'm still having nightmares and my sanity will never be the same again, does Pentax User offer counselling I wonder?

I must say that Hypgnosis is good at getting that "zowie" effect. My faves from them would be "I, Robot", "Eve", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", "Venus and Mars" (the whole package with poster and stickers), "Peter Gabriel 1978" and "Peter Gabriel 1980". Oh, and "Go 2". Whew! That is a lot!
Right up there with Peter Saville and 23 Envelope.
