Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Peter,

Just a suggestion:  make the image size smaller (easier to see and takes up less room on the site).  Here's how:

After you click on the image icon (to the right of the red circle with the 'f' in it), move your cursor over to the first [img] box and add to it[img width=300] or if you want it a bit bigger, you could set it to 4 or 500.  Then proceed as usual.  I'll demonstrate here.... Note:  no space between the width=300.

PD

Does that help?

Yes. Odd cover. Not terrible.

Thanks, PD.

Fixed.

It made me think of Delibes' "Lakmé" or some other Bayadère / Shéhérazade / Shiva. Not Ludwig.

Perhaps. I think the main point is just to look active/animated.

Thanks, PD.

Fixed.

You're welcome.

It is quite bizarre.  And, yes, it didn't make me think of Ludwig either.

The volume 1 cover is more conventional but I actually like it less.

Two Russian requiem CDs:

There were two reasons for me not liking this cover:

1. The Durga impersonation.

2. The white parts of the image look to me like someone had clumsily ripped the cover in a few places. To me, the white parts are torn paper.

Where black-and-white photography doesn't make the image look better.

Someone may have already posted this one, I don't remember.



I mean, seriously, who approved that color for the text??

What a mess.

Top marks though for the massive leap in artistic sensibility between 1 and 2.

Nice find! 

(The title means The Last Romantic).

[Pohjolas Daughter]

I have the CD and feel the washed-out cover photo-- despite the title-- is unfair to the artist.

I have that CD too.  I understand the idea behind it, but it's too much.  Perhaps just changing the background color would have worked better?

[Madiel]

Yes, I can see the concept, but the execution isn't good.

Does anyone else find this terrifying?

Yes - does it date from an era before clowns were regarded as serial killing maniacs?

Presumably it is supposed to be a Hobgoblin (Chadwick) rather than a clown, still horrible.
