Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[springrite]

Wow, all three of those guys are packing!! Uhhh... I mean.... they're HUGE!!

(uh,... and I don't... uh... mean...)

They sure seem excited about you looking at them (or holding them, if you are holding the actual recording...)

Reminds me of this joke:

Q: What is the similarity between the starship USS Enterprise and toilet paper?

A: Both are circling Uranus looking for Klingons.

Gee, thanks. I hadn't noticed.

That belongs in the "Worst album titles" thread.

I think the flaming violin is kind of corny but then why split it in half? :

"Worst" in the sense of "least competent".  This looks more like T.S. Eliot:

It burns faster that way.

Corny of not, I like that cover.

Maybe the filler was going to be Sibelius' The Origin of Fire?

Noticed this in the used CD store tonight.  Downright scary if you ask me

Scary is one thing, bad taste is another...

It's the perfect classical music/robot dance crossover album.

I have seen some good covers with printed music... Not so many with blank staves decorated with gold and silver stars.

And from deep within the burning fires of hell appeared the Harnoncourt...

You own this thread Greg.

Looks almost like Hitler in red on the left.

Cool thread!

Not really anything funny about this one, but I always thought that this Reich album was particularly ugly (there are so many really pretty pictures of the desert, yet they pick one that looks like a landfill). The music, however, is sublime.

And, of course, the first of the Ligeti Project series has the composer in a pose that looks like he could be an actor for an Advil commercial.

Think of this one as "Truth in Advertising"
