Worst reggae album covers of all time, ever...

Inspired by a thread over on the BaF forums. Which in your opinion are the worst album covers you've ever seen, be they naff, offensive, stupid-looking, not in keeping with the music on the disc, or just plain cheap and nasty, so that they look like bogus knock-offs...

This is the one that springs immediately to mind.

Great album - but the cover looks like it should be listed on here:

What was he thinking with this?

One might expect this to be some sort of horrible disco crossover nightmare.

Dorks.

The 80s were messed up.

Why is that Mighty Diamonds a bad cover? Man, you guys love complaining.

Jughead, that's a great cover! Except the spelling off course.

Non-reggae, but some classics nontheless. Some of these will scare you.

I really like the cover to Prince Far I "Showcase In A Suitcase". Well smart.

Now this one however really does suck

Some of Prince Far I's covers have been pretty uninspiring, TBH.

[cover=2249,2602]

Is this supposed to bring to mind the Village People?
