Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[Irons]

Assuming it's true, since when it is a good CD cover supposed to be realistic?

No it does not. It is the good bit I don't agree with.

[André]

Packaging-wise, that's impressively sloppy.

Marta Argerich? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Argerich)

Yeah, that too. 

And this one: Ashkenazy plays « two valses », including the « Minute Valse ». It looks like they couldn't make up their mind between French and English  .

[Florestan]

No it does not. It is the good bit I don't agree with.

And I disagree with your disagreement, so let's agree to disagree and remain friends.

I agree with that.

This had to be inspired by the artwork of Terminal Cheesecake's Pearlesque Kings Of The Jewmost album .

That is a very bizarre cover!

That is a very bizarre cover!

It is music to listen to while squibbing anti-histamine drops in your eyes .

That's very handy thanks. I didn't realise Discogs had all those images .

For the record, I don't find this bad, just a bit bizarre.

A very graphic representation of the expression 'off the top of my head'...

The recording is now available in the Sony Black Composers box (I may not be remembering the set's official title correctly).  It's rather good.  Nunes Garcia was an ordained priest, btw, hence the clothing in the image.

Glad I'm not the only one enjoying this box. Some of the other art is akin to this: more weird than bad.

I hadn't heard of the Brazilian composer before now (did a quick google search).  Wasn't that a '70's album cover?  From what I've seen, those could be (tended to be?) quite bizarre!

Happy to check out his music...will try youtube and/or library.  Long day today so will read more about him tomorrow.

Best,

PD

LOL so how does a single eye relate to stereo exactly?

[Mahlerian]

This is ugly on every level possible, from the font to the color scheme to the weird background.



This just confuses me. What does a tangle of limbs have to do with Vietnam-era modernist symphonies again?

[steve ridgway]

I wonder if Discogs have a release with different artwork I could use for the files on my music players?
