Album covers

[fenghuang]

I don't know where this thought came from, but what's the most pornographic album cover for a well known release? (I'm sure there are obscure bands that have pushed the limits, but I'm not sure they count.)

There's a Herb Albert cover with a woman covered in nothing but shaving cream. I just saw a copy of this record in a thrift store.

Shaving cream?!? That's whipped cream, sweetie!
(and it's Alpert)

I should know. It's the first album I ever bought. A Christmas present for my grandparents when I was 10.

A from the good little witch.

Holy Shit! My mother had that album when I was little.

Fucking brings back memories!

[OnlyInDreams]

Wasn't there one with hmmm who was it, blink 182 and they were all naked wearing only tube socks on their dicks?

While not pornographic, this Al Green cover is one of the sexiest things ever made - makes me think pornographic thoughts, anyway.

I remember a bit of controversy about the 14 year old model on the cover of Blind Faith's first album.

I remember when Sticky Fingers from the Stones first came out. Everyone reached for the zipper on the album cover, while making sure no one in the store was watching!

The album Virgin killer, by Scorpions, caused a lot of controversy too, and the band weren't pleased themselves; it depicted a 14-year old girl with her legs spread and a piece of broken glass covering her genitals.

I used to work at Borders Books & Music and there were times when we had to put the Pixies' album Surfer Rosa up on higher shelves and cover the boobies with price stickers.

The mothers would freak out when they saw it. To tell the truth, I didn't always comply with the booby cover ups.
Not sure it's pornographic enough for consideration in the thread. Porniness is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
(But maybe I just wanted to talk about the ridiculous booby censoring that went on.)
