I love this disk, but the footwear bothers me. I think the cover would have been better without that Japanese touch. Or maybe it's the 90s and the times required such a cultural association on the cd cover. I dunno.

I almost passed on buying the CD I so loathe that fuzzy pink centaur in the corner. I wish Chandos had just kept the original cover:

The pink seems to be the fault of Chandos. The original is [I think] part of the frescoes of the Villa Farnese in Rome.

Maybe they used the same pictures in commercials for that chair?

I wouldn't call these worst looking (ugly), but they are certainly bizarre. "Derek Bell plays with himself" sounds naughty.

Great choices, indeed.
Raymond Devos was a very famous Belgo-French comedian, "cabaretier" - not yet forgotten.
Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Devos

he played several instruments.

They are hilariously bizarre but hardly among the "worst". Among the worst in a boring way I find many with boring photographs of artists looking either not photogenic or very artificially staged. (Like Karajan having the cheek to pose at the piano with Richter relegated to the background in the recording of Beethoven's triple concerto.)

As for hilarious or weird, I just stumbled over this. (It took me a few seconds to get the connection) It is also surprising that the put in two sonatas as fillers that are probably among the least known/popular ones.

Also, the second CD I bought has a weird but less funny cover:

Bonn - an industrious, modern city!

It is getting weirder and weirder...and helps to get through this gloomy day!

Feeling judged and uncomfortable ?

Now this is a photo of a man and his chair:

The man is Gene Kelly (if you don't recognize him).

^ Don't see anything wrong with that.

I wonder if this is a real mural from an orthodox monastery or so (I think I saw somewhat similar paintings in one of the Meteora monasteries open to tourists but this was a long time ago) or only adopting such a style.
