Minimal Wave Records

not sure if this is the right section to post this, but whatever…

came across this today and thought some of you may find it funny.

my favs are ‘the handless organist’ and ‘space escapade’... although most of them are pretty messed up.

Some are hilarious indeed, but are these really the worst? With a little effort one can find covers that are even worse.

Is that a vacuum cleaner tube?  :D

He did a whole foto shoot, holding it as if it was a light sabre. Sweet when you are a little boy, but ridiculous in the hands of a grown man.

Indeed, but you can’t deny that some of them are horrid!

I like these album covers. I think they’re brilliant.

Aah, Gary. Yes that’s a vac cleaner tube. I think it actually works on the poster with the LP:

There’s a great interview with Gary on Graham Norton here:

He comes across as such a prince.
