#WorstAlbumCovers 11/13

Artist: Red Simpson
Album: I'm A Truck

Despite the very Transformer-y claim of the album title, it appears that Red is not in fact a truck but merely the driver of one. He is pictured in classic truck driver pose (one elbow resting out of the open window) in the cab of a yellow truck.

Artist: Vera Matovic
Album: Samo Jedan Minut

There are shoulder pads, there are big shoulder pads, and then there is our Vera. She is wearing a satin black dress but oh my goodness the shoulder pads must be a good 15 cm (that's 6 inches for those hard of metric-ing at the back) in height. Apart from that, though, she's quite neatly dressed. The gold chain goes well. Excellent try, Vera.

Artist: Dan something ending in -rary
Album: Lady's Fancy

Far be it from me to tell ladies who they should fancy, but it has to be said that Dan is not the picture of stereotypical sexiness. He is slightly balding -- with a neatly done centre parting admittedly -- and a sex molestor's moustache. It does look like he knows how to strum a guitar, though, and there's no doubting the attraction of someone being in the music business.

Artist: Jean Pierre Numez
Album: The Nimble Fingers Of ...

A bearded man is playing an acoustic guitar. He is wearing a handsome tuxedo but ... no trousers. For Christ's sake man, where are your pants? Who on earth told you to pose for this picture without getting fully dressed?

#WorstAlbumCovers 12/13

Artist: Half Pint
Album: Watch Me Grow

A man wearing a stripy black and white shirt and trousers sits on the bonnet of a car, legs spread wide apart. It's not entirely clear exactly what part of Mr Pint is going to be growing but I think we can have a good guess.

To really add icing to the cake, there appears to be a disembodied "Michael Myers from Halloween" style hockey mask floating in the car. That's just freaky.

Artist: The Beach Boys
Album: Pet Sounds

Finally, just to prove it can happen even to the best of them, here's the cover of one of the greatest albums ever made. It shows five young men with very 1960s haircuts feeding some goats.

There is no number 13. Counting is hard, I fail at maths.

@losttourist These are incredible. I got as far as 7/13 before wondering if they had been AI generated. I mean, How to buy Meat?

@losttourist Quite the list though! I recognize only 2 artists:
Bert Reynolds > Tom Jones
[edit: oh, the Beach Boys makes 3]

Actually one last thing (maybe consider this the 13/13 of the thread).

If I may quote the man who put the collection together:

This exhibition is staged in aid of Different Strokes, a charity which helps younger stroke survivors to optimise their recovery by offering rehabilitative services, information and advice. If you enjoyed this exhibition please consider making a donation".
