Cover Story. Volume Two: Odd, Obscure, and Outrageous Album ArtOur friends at Wax Poetics Magazine have released a book which compiles the craziest album covers one can possibly imagine. After the introductory pages by David Hollander, we say goodbye to commentary and are left only with high quality images of curated wacky lp covers. This is one of those books where one can flip through endlessly. Some of the images are truly original, inspired works of art, whereas others are just plain and unbridled insanity. Colorful and psychedelic explosions sit along side grinning, mustachioed men on roller skates and "Music For Your Plants"... Better yet, the artwork for the record "Music To Massage Your Mate By" could leave just about anyone in stitches.
Thanks has to go to all of the contributors who collect these treasures at various flea markets, record shops and thrift stores. Weirdos!
