Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[knight66]

My work is done; my task is o'er. Another one SAVED.

[The new erato]

                 

At least the Brailettes probably never saw the cover and can be to some extent excused.....

[Wanderer]

This is pretty sad:

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

   

[MISHUGINA]

This is pretty sad:

That kicked ass.

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

I just got this disc and it rocks. But why did they have to make poor Pletnev's face look so sickly and diseased?

What is he doing? Playing it or playing with it?

Truly awful!

[Kullervo]

[Lethevich]

This is pretty sad:

Few conductors have so consistently appeared on awful LP covers. There were a few under the title "Karajan Express" that were pretty horrible as well - one including a still life photo on the back of expensive wine, cheese, caviar, cigars, etc on a table - live the Karajan lifestyle!

....please say that this is something that you photoshopped, that this never actually happened...

This too.

I have lost all respect for classical music... 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

[Opus106]

Tsk tsk - that's not how your destroy a Strad. 

This is how you should do it.

[Kullervo]

He wasn't trying to destroy it, he was playing Purple Haze.

Hey, that Giardino Armonico cover is actually pretty cool!

[lukeottevanger]

Is this as bad as it seems to me?

[Maciek]

No, no, the tasteful graphic design complements the music perfectly.

(A nice bit of Comic Sans, the primary school teacher's font of choice)

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Is this as bad as it seems to me?

Incredible!

(And one of my best friends has a book published very soon, in the US, about Babbitt and Alan Forte: Analyzing Atonal Music: Pitch-Class Set Theory and Its Contexts (Eastman Studies in Music)!)

[Maciek]

Now that's what I call a shameless plug!
