Never mind the Bollocks, here's the Sex Pistols. After the release of the album, Police raided shops in the UK, forcing owner's to cover up the offending word on the sleeves and posters. It ended up in a big court case here in the UK under the obscene publications act. However, a High Court Judge eventually ruled that Bollocks (a slang term for testicles) also was an old anglo saxon word meaning nonsense. So the Bollocks are now legal in the UK.

A couple you didn't mention... Supertramp's "Indelibly Stamped" from 1971 features the naked torso of a heavily tattooed young lady. I believe there were some censored and alternative covers for this one, but I've never seen one in real life. Good album, but from the era before "Crime of the Century", when they got really big, so relatively few people have heard (of) it. Not sure if this counts, because the airbrushing occurred before the album cover was printed, but ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" features art by H.R. Giger before he became known for his work on the movie "Alien". Truly a weird cover, it features the face of a prostitute with whom Giger was obsessed. The original artwork included, um, an erect phallus aimed for her chin, which appears on the cover as a glowing blob suggesting, perhaps, what might have been. One of their best albums and a truly memorable cover..
@kevinputry56553 жыл бұрын
And in similar fashion to the Blind Faith album, the Scorpions' 4th album "Virgin Killer" from 1976 has a similar cover but even more risque than the Blind Faith one. Banned in the US for sure. And I can't blame them. I'd say it was a much inappropriate cover. So instead the US release has simply a band photo on the cover. But in regard to the original cover for The Beatles' Yesterday and Today , I don't think that one would be deemed as offensive today. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that one.

It's funny you mention that the Blind Faith cover was different here in the U.S. I was about 10 in the mid-80s and used to see the original album cover in Caldors, often uncovered, but occasionally with the price sticker where yours showed the band name. I was too young to make the leap that the thing she was holding might be interpreted in a certain way. I had a notion of what the 60s were about and sort of saw it as was described or maybe rationalized as: some sort of commentary about nature and technology. I've read about it, the model used was hoping to get a horse out of it.

Another controversial cover I own is the Badfinger "No Dice" cover with the babe in a gypsy or belly dancing outfit with her hand sticking through the pants. Again, it's not in good shape otherwise it might be worth something to a collector. And IIRC Mother's of Invention's "We're Only in it for the Money" Sgt.

loved it., but I thought you would have as a top 10 Jimi Hendrix -electric ladyland . nude ladies on cover. 2 later ones , Body Count- cop killers. cover had a man with cop killer on chest /new cover had cop killer removed. other one Dream Theater - live scenes from New York. cover shows the twin towers on fire, album came out right before 9-11. also Ginger Baker had said in a interview that was his daughter and saw nothing wrong with it

Little known Chicago-sounding band called Mom's Apple Pie (circa '73) Painting of an apple pie with one slice out of it, had a clearly defined vagina in the middle of the pie. In protest of being censored they made 3 other covers making fun of censorship.

The indents from the sticky fingers lp affect the ya ya's back cover most...sometimes getting to the vinyl itself... exile followed sticky fingers...and that package had it's own issues

I say it all depends how you have 'em placed. some people will go from debut to newest, others newest and then go back. or is there a rule to this that nobody told me about? Lol.

I have them both...the Beatles Butcher with and without the trunk paste over....my good friend owned a record store in Ridgefield Ct, called Discobolus and he sold me an original butcher before he STUPIDLY returned them (he was all business)....which by the way even to this day he would gladly buy it from me!
@willstearns36033 жыл бұрын
FYI....some record stores simply received the Butcher stick on cove to stick on themselves....FACT....didn't work out at all!!

Imagine if The Lemon Song had Robert Plant change the lyrics from "The way you squeeze my lemon" to "The way you twist my melon", it would sound much less... ... Controversial 😁

I bought a compilation album by Island records. It featured a young girl holding a stick of rock (candy stick?). It was called 'Fill your head with rock'.

If you want to see controversial, look up the album covers from Black Flag, Big Black, or The Dayglo Abortions.

What about the original album cover of "Moontan" by Golden Earring? The one that shows a naked show girl on the cover.
