They look pretty funky, huh?

funky yes, Funky no 
Yes, quite a common practice back then. Either that or get somebody like Pat Boone  to cover the tune.
Now that WOULD have been funny to have Pat Boone try and cover a James Brown tune.  Tribal Disorder"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Definitely a bad one. That's one of the '70s era ones I decided to leave out after realizing what a daunting task I had undertaken. I figured the point had been made. But for those who've never seen it:

I think this is just about the perfect album cover. You can almost hear the music when you look at the image.

Based on sheer numbers alone, much like his reverse counterpart James Brown , Frank Zappa should get the King of the Cool Album Cover award. Again, like James Brown, this will have to get divided up into decades.
Zappa - '60s
