Wackiest record covers at yard sales
I’ve been seeing a few collections of the worst, funniest, or most ridiculous LP covers here and there. We’ve certainly encountered our share of gems in the wild, so I thought I’d put together a post of our own.
Both of the quality LPs below are on the GROSS RECORDS label.
This one Karl pointed out, saying it’s one of his most hated record covers, all because of the dog’s mouth. At first I thought he was crazy, but after staring at it for a while, I started to see what he means.
“You Figure It Out!” Okay …
We had a comment on our flickr page that I think just might’ve: “drag kings.”
Now, this one is just … baffling.
There is something unsettling about the intensity on his face. (The guy, not the moose.)
We’ve had several encounters with aerobics-meistress Joannie Greggain. She seems to change her look every so often, but never loses her legwarmers.
Apparently this next one is actually quite the rarity. (Some guy had just purchased it when we got to this sale, but he let us take a picture.)
This one is also apparently worth bucks, but I just took a picture and left it behind. Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all.
Karl purchased this gem some time ago and was going to guest-blog about it. (I don’t think that is ever going to happen.)
Dig that crazy lipstick!
This one is a CD, but I think it still needs to be in this post …
And finally, a record I purchased (in exactly this condition) at some thrift store in California back in the ’90s.
I will probably never listen to this, but I don’t think I will ever part with it.

[...] It was not. So we decided: “New neighborhood!” We headed off toward an estate sale, spotting signs for a moving sale on the way. They had a ton of records, but nothing great. This one cracked me up — it would have fit in perfectly with my post about wacky LP covers. [...]
