Album Art

As I finish up the holiday season with its music, and the Compact Disc continues to fade into oblivion, here is a retro look back at album cover art. The LP was an art form in itself and we continue to idolize some of the classic works as true masterpieces. These examples ARE NOT.

Please Jesus, use them!

This one, surprisingly not from BuzzFeed, but an online art blog called the UnTapped Source. I have no idea where they scoured the globe to find these, but they are indeed international and of every decade. Painfully bad and from less than independent labels. More like a Polaroid camera and a printing press in a basement. A hoot. And as always, a link to the source so you can view each and every one of them
