That Toe Fat cover used to freak me out in the record store when I was a kid. And they had a second album, what the hell is that stuff?

It's mostly the leavings from a roast chicken I think? I've looked at that second LP a few times but I had never even noticed the characters from the first LP (even the lamb!) before.

I think these Toe Fat records are too weird to be fully yawnsome. And the toes themselves are maybe not fat enough to be literal?

(Always a strange kind of pleasure to see them though)

Tim, Tuesday, 15 January 2019 16:32 (six years ago)

Both designed by Hipgnosis.

Not literal though are they?

Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Tuesday, 15 January 2019 16:42 (six years ago)

kind of amazing how small they made the people in that second, equally disgusting one. they are very easily missed subtleties!

|Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 15 January 2019 18:41 (six years ago)

yeah I agree the first one isn't strictly literal, but it seemed to good/weird not to share

there should be a thread for depressingly bad covers of jazz albums.

This one isn't yawnsome, in fact I kind of like it...

I almost feared to click on that link tbh.

'Skills' Wallace (Tom D.), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 23:44 (five years ago)

It’s really the back cover that clinches it

They could’ve thrown an apostrophe in there I suppose

that's just sad

the public eating of beans (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 02:09 (five years ago)

I think the horrible animal mutilation makes that one a bit more than just yawnsomely literal.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 10:53 (five years ago)

Also, to be pedantic, Snakefinger is the name of the artist not the album.
