Most embarrassing sleeve
- Thread starter crackerjack
- Start date
A mate of mine bought this in the mistaken belief that it was an album by The Liars:
IIRC the music was about as good as the sleeve.
sounds like your mate lucked out. I'd much rather listen to Todd Rundgren than Liars
terrible sleeve though

I just looked this one up - I dunno, I think it's got a sort of DIY charm to it?
I have no idea what the Liars even sound like. But I don't think I could bring myself to listen that album if it had the most killer tunes ever written...

Just to be clear, I'm not concerned with the cover of that book, but the contents (it's a compendium of krautrock obscurities). Or did you mean you tracked down that cow? Hard to believe as it's far from charming.

I maintain: the Germans have this area covered.

Oh right, I thought you just meant the cover of the book. No, I don't know the cow one, I want to look out of morbid curiosity now that you've bigged it up, or rather smalled it down...

Ted was onto a winner with this one.
Reminds me of this:
which is not so much terrible as, arguably, inspired.

The 20 worst sleeves of 2011 at FACT
http://www.factmag.com/2011/11/14/the-20-worst-sleeves-of-2011/?pid=2020
A few thoughts:
1. Hey! I like that Moritz von Oswald cover!!
2. Some of these are clearly "ironic"
3. Do I notice a trend of bands trying to make their covers look like they're in those wonderfully horrible tinted CD cases you used to get in the early 90s
4. That Limp Bizkit one really is something to behold
5. As is...

Ooh er... Fucked up like how? I hate posting dodgy links. Sorry. FACT seemed like a pretty non-sketchy thing to link.

Oh, not seriously. Should've clarified.
It just made my browser seize up and freeze.
Another website did it just before, so might just be my browser.
Using Opera?
I'm sure the FACT site is fine. I've never had problems with it before.
Best. Ever.
