Can you believe Amazon has the World of Genius Hans
CD for sale here? It's pretty weird.
Perhaps they should've stuck to the rule about Orange Satin Bell Bottoms.
And here's the back.
What was the photographer saying here, "Love the tongue, Myron, I LOVE it!"?
You can get Mylon LeFevre's Greatest Hits at Amazon too. It's pretty bad.
Can you believe we got this one for just a dollar? Score!

Really, there should be two separate categories: Some of these covers are funny because they are amateurish and cheap, but others come from major labels like Capitol, designed by professionals with big budgets who should have known better!

Actually the album called "On the Road to Freedom" by Alvin Lee and Mylon Lefevre is an excellent album. George Harrison even plays on their cover of his song called "So Sad". Since George had contract conflicts he used the name Harry Georgeson....

Actually the Moving Gelatine Plates album is considered a classic in certain circles.
Here are a couple of informed reviews : http://gnosis2000.net/reviews/mgp.htm
Personally I think the album is overrated. Its not bad, but they certainly aren't in the same league as Soft Machine.
Maybe I'll give it another listen today. :->

in respect to our masked crusader [Orion].
he made me question the Nietzsche statement,
"that which is truly deep wears a mask".
can it possibly be?

Someone needs to track down and sterilize the guy who expressed synpathy for Mylon LeFevre.

After an 8 day coke binge snorting an average of an 8-Ball every 4 hours, our bloke here decides to smash his face in with a brick for an album cover. Currently, his coke habit has increased significantly to prove he is hardcore.

What's wrong with Mylon Lefevre? I like the song "Crack the Sky"...

...Did you folks work on the "worst album covers" list that was on Boston.com? I hope so....
Posted by Amanda on July 22, 2005 09:51 AM
I think that the carnival is a good cover as for mylon..think a name change to nylon would be more fitting,or why not go the whole hog and change it to 100% polyester....god,have I nothing better to do?

On that Orion cover:
You have the wrong one featured. The first issue of "Reborn" pictured a ghostly singer wearing a mask emerging from a coffin. Some considerd this in bad taste so Sun re-issued it.
By the way, On December 13, 1998, Jimmy Ellis, who was Orion, was killed in a robbery attempt inside the convenience store he owned near Selma, Alabama.
On Orion, see the following:

Clear to me, you've got it all reversed. These are THE BEST album covers... all of them are great. ALL of them.
Posted by Olsen on July 21, 2005 03:42 PM
As an FYI, there was a big hullabaloo when Orion released that album, as many people thought that he was Elvis, coming back after faking his death.

To be somewhat fair, the Hebrew album (three guys with telephone) is from an Israeli comedy troupe... the garish outfits are kinda deliberate (I think I actually have that album myself; it includes a pretty amusing spoof of a traditional Yemenite tune, and how many albums can you say *that* about?)

The cover for "I Get Wet" is one of the best album covers of all time. Everything else in this list is spot on, but come on guys - the dude bashed his face in with a brick for that cover shot! Nothing could be more hardcore.
