Awesomely Bad Album Art

Album artwork so bad, it's good!

Album artwork so bad, it’s good!

Some years ago we were working in a record shop and at one point got stuck in the back of a hot warehouse to sort records. We got lonely and took a few photos. Then the Internet happened. So, enjoy…

Little Jimmy Lynch- Sounds of Country

Could be the best dollar you’ll ever spend. Not for hard-core fans of Country, only folks who like a little Country.

Finger Lickin Good

Denis Coffey – Finger Lickin Good

Luckily this cover was produced before the PC police out were harassing everyone for having awesome thought crimes. As a side note, I love fried chicken so much I tried to marry it. But alas the state I live in is not very progressive and wouldn’t recognize our union. But they did let me marry a black woman so this album cover is pretty much every night at our house.

Bruce Burklow- Give me liberty or give me death

In his pursuit of life and liberty, Brucey got what he wanted—career suicide.

Overalls

Maroon Marauders

The Flipsiders

We’re not sure what kind of music they play, but it looks like we’ll be catching Aunt Hattie on the flipside.

This generic compilation of swing music looked like the Kama Sutra for dancing teenagers of the 1940’s. With such sultry titles as ‘The Bess and Harry Truman Entry Way’, ‘Rattling the ice box’ and ‘Studebaker hugging five mile fury curve’, the Baby Boom Generation got born.

Pieces of a Dream – Imagine this

There’s nothing particularly funny about this cover- I just think these guys are cooler than cool. I’ve tried walking out of fake clouds several times to impress people, which has always resulted with me walking into a wall I didn’t see from all the smoke. Pieces of a tool, more like.

Fowler Brothers – Breakfast for Dinosaurs

Since we celebrate Veterans’ Day, Christmas, Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays – all about people putting their lives on the line for the rest of our sorry butts- how come we don’t celebrate ‘The Day that the Giant Meteor that took out those self-centered dinosaur douche bags’? I know I’m grateful for the poor rock that gave it’s life and if you aren’t, take a hard look at this album. What could have been.

Teddy Huffam and the Gems – Cookin’

Let us never forget the day Teddy Huffam put his band in the oven…

Spazz – Tastin’ Spoon

“I can’t believe those hairy pajama creatures we paid to dog-sit for us turned out to be humans! You just never know these days.”

Joe Farrell – Canned Funk

I don’t see how anyone could enjoy eating peaches. They’re the pits in my view.

Jack McDuff – Sophisticated Funk

Did I mention I married a black woman? Yeah, they give you the code to this lock on your wedding night. Unfortunately I was so nervous and excited, my fingers shook and I kept pressing the wrong buttons. Then when I tried to undo the thing with a crowbar, the lock maced me! But my wife was kind and applied salve to my swollen eyes, which smelled suspiciously like my favorite food.
