Have a look at some of the covers for these bogus Lee Perry releases.

Any of you guys ever get those 'auras' when you have a migraine? For those that don't - they look a little bit like this...

Ya it does actually just if it was more blurry. How do you pronounce 'auras' I see it all the time on the internet but can't remeber actually hearing it.

There are plenty of bad reggae album covers but these kind bother me the most:

Actually Early B has one of the best LP covers (Ghostbusters) but it seems more often than not his material features pretty lame artwork:

And I love ya, Barrington, but how in the heck did this pass muster?

One might expect this to be some sort of horrible disco crossover nightmare.
Out of respect for the late Mr. Dread, I feel that I must bump this thread to point out that he's actually wearing a black HAT in this picture - it's not a ridiculously sculpted disco-style afro.

I only realized this myself when I got around to buying this album on CD...

Yes, I was fooled too.

Mentioned in another thread. Making an already average cover look utterly cheap and naff for the CD reissue...
