Banned Album Covers

Recommended Posts

 I had the original Rolling Stones album “Sticky Fingers”. Had the zipper on the front. Why they banned it still baffles me, and made them change it. I also had the Scorpions “Love At First Sting” vinyl and they changed that one.

The original Scorpions' album cover for "Virgin Killer" would bigly appeal to Matt Gaetz.

Roxy Music -Country Life

boobs & bush 👍

Shot by Eric Boman,[5] the Country Life cover features two scantily clad models, Constanze Karoli (sister of Can's Michael Karoli[6]) and Eveline Grunwald (who was also Michael Karoli's girlfriend). Bryan Ferry met them in Portugal and persuaded them to do the photo shoot as well as to help him with the words to the song "Bitter-Sweet". Although not credited for appearing on the cover, they are credited on the lyric sheet for their German translation work.

The cover image was controversial in some countries, including the United States and Spain, where it was censored for release. As a result, early releases in the US were packaged in opaque shrink wrap; a later American LP release of Country Life (available during the years 1975–80) featured a different cover shot. Instead of Karoli and Grunwald posed in front of some trees, the reissue used a photo from the album's back cover that featured only the trees. In Australia, the album was banned in some record stores, while others sold each copy inside a black plastic sleeve.[7] Author Michael Ochs has described the result as the "most complete cover-up in rock history
