Over the weekend I went to my favorite music store Amoeba (Hollywood) located on Sunset Blvd between Ivar and Vine Avenue. As I was digging through some Records in the SOUL section. I came across Millie Jackson's 1989 Album "Back to the S_ _ T!", I seriously thanked graphic designers for coming a long way... The cover has Millie Jackson sitting down on a toilet bowl with her panties hanging down to her ankles, with a facial expression only a toilet can make you do...
Here's a couple of other memorable-funny album covers. These are some of the worst album covers that have ever been designed. Bad design and typography is everywhere, but these album covers have crossed the line!!!
"Zip Zap Rap" by Devastatin Dave was a single released in 1986. The single is an anti-drug song, released during Ronald Reagan crack-cocaine era. Check out the CMYK color scheme.
Knorkator-Hasenchartbreaker is an album by a German heavy metal band, released in 1999. Bad Image and terrible typography used
Ken-By request Only, released in 1976. This record sold for $150 on eBay.
Norberto de Freitas-Trapalhadas do Balbino... All I could say is Woow..
King Obstinate-25th Anniversary, released in 1983.

Those are some pretty bad album covers. I wonder if actual graphic designers were hired to design the covers. They look as if they were designed and produced by the band members themselves.
