Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[Opus106]

That is The Queen. Looks rather more like The Witch, does it not? 

Now that you've mentioned it, the image of a giant hen facing off against a part-human-part-platypus is gone from my mind. It was fun while it lasted.

That's now the award-winner.

True it is, covers like that make this easy ; )

But think of all the CDF (photoshopped or otherwise) that one could collect.

Did they have to choose that angle?

Beethoven for the Suicidal

Now that cover is just plain weird. And I'm all for oblique approaches to CD cover design (e.g., other than photos of the artists), but that...

Do you know I had to think for a few moments, looking at the pic and wondering about the statues angles.

I am so niaeve.

Beethoven for the Suicidal

As a side note, the title of the CD gives the viewer no reason to believe that that set has 6 violin sonatas rather than just 2. (It does have 6.)

More legs (plus extras):

Hehe, it's too easy to mock Arte Nova's super pretentious covers 0:)

That is one of the most ridiculous covers I've ever seen. What a stupid cover.

I'm pretty sure Lethe photoshopped that.

As a proof of concept, consider this cover (which I actually like!) before and after my intervention...

Is it not just trying to suggest Spring?

Loving your Arte Nova mock up, btw, Brian. Inspired!

Yes, the original looks like this:

Even Lethe let a proof of her "crime" because she forgot (?) to delete the neck of the bottles on the upper part of the intervented cover: 

Hehe, it's too easy to mock Arte Nova's super pretentious covers 0:)

... the perfect crime doesn't exist my fellows. Anyway, it's a great "intervention"...

This doesn't below under "worst" but certainly weird.  Seems to be a landscape  but those two hills look suspiciously like something else.  Sarge, we need a judgement here, you're the expert.

And no, I didn't Photoshop it!
