One band you could always count on for controversy was Throbbing Gristle.  Take this cover for example:

 

 

Seems completely innocent on the surface, but isn't below the surface.  Those from the UK may recognize that as Beachy Head, one of the most well known suicide spots on earth.  The title and image also have absolutely nothing to do with what you will experience once you start listening.  New musical ground was being broken.

 

There is an alternate version of the cover that i will not link here for nudity/shock reasons.  There is a naked dead body at their feet.

Shocking enough that she is wearing white socks with ankle-strap high heel shoes!  A naked body as well would drive everyone over the edge.

Essa é uma capa que eu gosto de curtir, e o som da banda (Soen) também é muito bom ...

Oh my - this is quite the most disturbing cover I have seen in ages.  Reminds me of Farnham's Freehold.  Brrr....

'A Day in Life - Impressions of Pepper' by VA issued by Impulse. 

I'm not sure Beatles fans will like this cover

This one had a pretty messy lifetime.  Not going to go into it beyond saying the band stole this to use as cover art.  Supposedly.  It certainly spruced up interest in both parties goods.  For those wondering, mid 80's Madonna outsider art.

 

 

 

As a CC fan I'm interested

I am kind of at a loss for words here - this is amazing!

There is a heartwarming story behind the insert poster that came with this one:

When I saw this I thought what a distinctively modern cover for a late medieval album.  Wrong!
