And who could forget 2 Live Crew’s cover for “as nasty as they want to be”.
Boney M next, well done Mr M for having such a great forename. They released “Love For Sale” in 1977 , and what a cover they chose. Dude. Put the crab ladder away. It reached number 13 in the UK album charts and they even nabbed a number one single in Norway and Holland with one of the tracks thereon. So I guess it kind of worked?
When I first saw the Boney M album cover above, I thought they might hold the title for ultra-misogyny. But no. All hail Rudy Ray Moore who takes the mother chuffing biscuit and cheese with this next one. I’ve never heard of the guy but he sure knows how to make a sexist and entirely hilarious album cover.
There are just too many pictures to put them all up here, but I’ve had a lovely afternoon of chuckling through the tears. I’ll leave you with an LP inlay from JoJo Gunne. The first image is the outside cover and the bottom pic is the inside cover. Genius.
