So here are some more (IMO) - good albums with $hlte covers:

Can't let this thread go without a mention of this 'almost' beauty!View attachment 10906
Paranoid is a weird one. It's OK until you look at it properly and see its a man with toy sword and shield wearing his underpants on the outside :D

Staying with Black Sabbath I'll go with Sabotage. To me one of the very best heavy rock albums of all time. I've sort of got used to the cover but it is pretty crap.

The TOTP one in the top right looks out of place. A headshot of a grumpy woman with a handbag balanced on her head.
 
I really love this album but hate this cover....

..especially as they re-released it not longer after I bought it with Reward added and a new cover.

Absolutely love this album by Top who were an early 90's Liverpool band. Terrible band name and album title ('Emotion Lotion') but the music is as good as the cover is bad, so this is a really great record! I always describe this album as The Stone Roses-lite, really fantastic. It's somewhere between The Stone Roses and The La's, just chocca with melody and all the more puzzling how they were dropped by their label (Island) not long after its release, never to be heard of again. Talk about the one that got away!

Top - 'Buzzin'
