You would not believe how crappy this looks when you hold it in your hands. It looks as though someone has taken a small drawing of H.I.M. found somewhere else and scaled it up to CD cover size using Paint Shop Pro - then saved it as a JPG with the compression set too high.

You have a CD of this? My cover looks fine....as if an aritst sketched it with various toned pencils right on the red background...the yellow lettering with green shadow just popping off the cover. You hate bionic dub, too?

this is such a fun thread..

there are loads of albums with strange covers.
Sometimes, like the ub 40 one, it is not really bad done technically but the associations it brings to mind are just out of place.. i mean look at the guy withs spreading his legs.. that looks kinda gay :)
the "rebel music" font and colors are ok but for some people might look childish or something..
Then u have covers that are just too much.. you can see from 100 meters away how cheap it was done. like the frankie paul & little john

i understand most of the postings, and they really made me laugh :)

The CD I have is the Attack Records release - the one with the yellow 'mid price' circle actually printed on the cover (it's not a sticker). The JPG artefacts on it are blatant.

How about this one?

Don't own it but have seen it and found it cheap and lame-looking. I think that the PFI pic is nicked from the 'Long Life' Virgin album cover.
