Bluemoon Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I am going with Scorpion's "Virgin Killer" (the European cover). I believe the cover was banned here...I think rightly so. I would post it here but I am afraid of getting arrested. You can see it on wikipedia if you are curious...though don't open it at work or in front of your kids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The Blind Faith cover was quite something as well. *dont kill the messenger* Edit.....After some thought I took away the picture. Im sure you can google it if you are curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I remember buying that album. It was a tough one to sneak into the house. I still have it, though it is not one you bring out to show people at cocktail parties. I believe the British government recently forced Wikipedia to remove it from the UK version of their site--arguing it was child pornography. Makes you wonder what the record company was thinking.

I'm all for being open minded and all, but there's always a limit. One love stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyH Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I remember that there was a John Lennon and Yoko Ono album with John and Yoko's full frontal nudity. That should be a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked1 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I just read an online article at Guitar World about this same subject! Here's a link. They give the "20 Most Shocking" and also show what eventually replaced the offending covers after the originals were banned. http://www.guitarworld.com/top_20_most_shocking_banned_album_covers?page=0%2C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Back around 1979 a friend showed me an album cover, I think it was Warren Zevon and the album title had something to do with girls's school or something... not sure if was Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School or not. It showed Warren facing you with his arms around two young ladies facing the other way, and at least one of his hands was hiking one of the girls' skirts up and copping a feel. It's been 30 years so it's fuzzy but I do remember his mother ran the library at a good sized college and she brought home many albums and tapes as a perk. This one ultimately got recalled and something else replaced it. I googled it to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
