Re: Bad Album Art!

Post by sowhat »

Not sure about the translation, and i skipped some comments which will need long explanation but here it goes.
-----
There are not so many artists today who can make a really horrible vinyl cover. Regretfully, this art is almost forgotten. Here's what i've found.
For instance...
"Romantica" - more feel, Jorge! Show me passion, show me your emotion! You're not posing for a passport photo! Here! Now! Great!
"Pachacamac" - God almighty, what is this? - It's a vinyl disc, mom! We've told you a minute ago! - Ah, yeah, righ. God, what is this? - Dammit, mom, it's a disc!
"The singing B's" - This Wayne Newton's face is definitely not his best.
And here's a cover you can enjoy for hours - "Tesura".
"Cantigas de roda" - Albeit uncle Nick had to kill three nurses, he got to his niece's birthday & spoilt it.
"Secret of happiness" - [censored], if anybody wants to know what it was about, send a PM. Albeit i cannot say it is very funny.
"Heaven came down" - right down on my hair.
"Music for pleasure time" - Wilhelm Tell once had a daughter...
"Rosamel" - ...and she couldn't decide whom to give her heart to - a man with a stash or a red deer.
"Happy occasions" - By the way, in the 50s orgies were much more boring than now...
"Music for orgies" - ...and in the 70s too.
"Something special" - despite all the tricks, the boys had to go to the army.
Cha-cha skipped cause it'd take miles of words to explain what's so funny about this comment to those who don't live in Russia.
"Folk songs for the 21st century" - I envy you, people living in the 21st century.
"Elna Fredhoy og Rigmor Odum" - i'm especially horrified by the right hand of the woman on the left.
"Los Pioneiros" - the two old sports teachers immediately came to like the new one.
"Ergas" - Russian porn from the times of Perestroyka had its predecessors.
"Les amours..." - skipped for the reason listed above.
"Michael Sedgwick" - on coming back from the fields, he found a little goat with a broken wing.
"Dale Hamilton" - this cover got a silver medal on a "World exhibition for goods disgracing the color blind" (Zurich, 1961).
"Firebird" - Stravinsky's ballet. The old man had a hard time.
"Satan is real" - They were so poor that even Satan was painted on the wall...
"Durval Vieira" - I won't make a mistake if i say that many know what this is all about. But as for me, i have no idea as to what's happening.
"Moonlight Madness" - Tiger's costume was tight and uncomfortable but it worked well on girls.
"The most Mishige" - After only 12 classes in our school you'd look as cool as this guy with a guitar.
"Bread, love and cha-cha-cha" - Please take notice of your son's behaviour. He was throwing bread in the cantine and killed the headmaster.
"Britt Ness" - He though his life took the right turn until he saw this...
"El Bailador" - ...this...
"Klik-Klak" - ...this...
"Argentina Coral" - ...and this.
Nothing will get you dead quicker than being deadly serious about yourself.

I don't know about the guitar but the lettering is the same on both instruments: "Helliget Herren". It sound like an expression of faith, like "WWJD?" or something... WEIRD!

#90 = he may not like the cover but that is one hell of an album. Still love it and play it.
#19 = I met Raffi and he is a very nice person. Quite an entertainer too, for the young set. Travels with his wife and friends.

The rest vary from scary to hideous to hilarious.

Sheena, thanks for the translations, your time is appreciated! :wink:

I will buy just about any book that with "bad album art" as its topic. I have at least 3 of them now, mainly from Barnes & Noble. I'd see them as I walked through the discount/remainders area.
