The Most Sexually Provocative Covers of All Time

The back cover of that album was even better (until they were forced to change it).

 

I may be wrong but I think I actually had the version with this inner sleeve:

 

BTW the cover is yet another work of Hypgnosis - the guys who changed a lot in the world of cover art. I once posted a documentary about them somewhere on AS.

I must admit - I just love to fuse threads

This is something quite exceptional - it's a gag album cover issued in the early 1960's by Carlton Greetings. This cover was never issued with a record, it was intended to by given as a gag gift, possibly having inserted another album inside..

 

 

Some more more or less  sexy vintage stuff.. (and some more male covers to avoid accusations of sexism, maybe even to increase the thread's WAF  and to signal again its colors-of-the-rainbow-friendliness of course )

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kevin Rowland's (Dexys Midnight Runners/Dexys) album of cover songs.

 

 

As a straight man who knows practically nothing about the history of the gay liberation, I was really surprised by this one - some sources suggest its issue date was 1967 but some other ones - 1960 (!) 

 

 

Pretty funny IMHO..

Surprised no one added this, original UK Electric Ladyland cover (not chosen by Hendrix):

 

Here's the cover Hendrix wanted, and that also wasn't used, photo by Linda Eastman:

It's actually been posted but only one half of the folding cover, so thanks.

 

Rammstein's single.

 

 

Accompanying video.

 

 

A more conventional cover.

My dear brother in animal treads and the father of the genre  

You've touched upon quite personal things here. First of all - I am (at least in theory) an art historian. Secondly I used to live for a couple of months in St. Remy where van Gogh was hospitalized after cutting off his ear. I know the majority of the places he had painted back then from my own experience e.g.

 

  

 

vangoghmuseum-stories

 

So it's all quite personal. BTW by total accident I live nowadays 500m from the place where Rembrandt was born and grew up. But despite all of that your post is waaaay OT 

But since I appreciate your input into the animal threads genre, let me help you to find a way out of this situation. It's actually quite easy. I the house right next to the one I lived in in St. Remy, lived a very sexy woman with long, long legs and even more (hmmmm..) sexy voice.

She even used to be Salvador Dali's muse long, long ago.

That's her with Salvador Dali.

 

 

 

That's her onstage.

 

 

And these are finally covers of her albums 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one by Roxy Music with her photo.

A great underrated Minneapolis band! Maybe our host was a fan. And the music in this song is wonderful....

...

...

(...but golden showers make me cringe, so I couldn't see the album cover's full allure. So I had a moment of despair. Please forgive me.)

 

Back on topic!

This is exactly what I was thinking while posting their video.

I wonder if they also had a problem with these covers..

 

 

 

This next one is pure, perverse pornography

I guess I have another album cover that matches the spirit of the thread but not the letter.
