I think we may have found a winner. Wow, that's just wrong.

I was thinking that too, but then I stumbled across this:

[Opus106]

I came across that earlier today, and was even ready to post it here until I read the album's name.

A rather odd choice of artwork for a release that features two female artists! Reminds me of a Monty Python cartoon. Perhaps the one on the left saying, "I can't find Radio 3."

It seems that in fact  the one on the left is saying: you are pregnant!!! you are pregnant!!!

That's what the wiki page says, anyway.

I didn't notice this cover (though I was looking quickly). Would you believe it is a Naxos disc!

Ooh, let's put something outer space-y on the cover...

Ah, the watermelon galaxy?

Sorry, George! 

[Opus106]

*Adjusts his astronomy hat*

It's actually called the Cat's Eye Nebula. It appears less fruity in a later image by the Hubble. The symmetry and all the enhanced colours appeal to human aesthetics, but it's essentially the grave of Sun-like star. And unlike the region surrounding more massive stars which go supernova, there is practically no chance of planets forming in such a "dead" environment.

Just yesterday there was an image on APOD showing the rarely seen (at least, I hadn't seen it before) HUGE but tenuous shell of material surrounding the nebula.



We now return to our regularly scheduled programming. Ugly album cover art will be displayed shortly...

Has this been posted yet?
I guess it's intentional to be so goofy...

That's awesome Greg!

I'm sure there are better ways to show the performers immersed in music-making.

That reminds me of the two popsicle slurping ladies on the Gong Show!
