I came across this cover recently on the net and after I finished laughing I thought it had to be the worst cover of all time or maybe you know of a worst one. Anyway enjoy>>

You think someone having a shit is a good record cover. well it takes all sorts I suppose!!

I love her music but this 1999 Ronnie Spector cover is way generic.

yes, i think someone taking a shit is a good album cover.

Oops is right

You 4got to show me the latest "upgrades" as well I didn't 4get about that either

Unfortunately, this award has and always will belong to James Brown...

So, here we go starting in '50s/'60s era:



Another interesting point is depending on where you look, the same album title/release date might have a different cover. This is probably dependent on whether it's on King (Papa's Got A Brand New Bag):

Awful
or Polygram (Papa's got a brand new bag):

Better (Not to mention a completely different set of tunes)



The '70s for The Godfather was not much of an improvement:






It now the '80s and more bad covers for Mr. Dynamite:






...It's startling how the number of bad album covers housed some of his best music.

It took the '90s-Y2K era along with comps/imports/reissues for The Godfather to finally get some decent (not great but decent) album covers.

The signature JB cover should have one/all of the following elements:
A) Get the man in action.
(split, slide, scream, mic trickin', camel walkin', knee dropin', processed hair flying in all directions, anything involving a cape, etc.)

B) Tight performance head shot letting you know that a devastating...
1) barrage of unintelligible vocal syllables
2) "eeeee"
3) "Good god"
4) "Maceo"
5) "Jabo"
6) "Hit me"
7) "Lookee here"
8) "Uhh"
...is being delivered.

C) Gallons of hard-workin', stage-stormin' generated sweat.

I love this guy but the King of Super Heavy Funk probably also deserves the King of the Bad Album Cover title also.
