trying to find some thing to match DH's post and found this one.
Lp cover lover is just excellent the bizarreness of some of the covers verge on being "outside art". The amount of effort to make the sleeves before photoshop and yet the lack of effort in some of them if you see what i mean .
This is the cover for Walter "Junie" Morrison's Bread Alone. Junie, best known for his work as keyboard player with funk band The Ohio Players, can be seen sitting alone, surrounded by bread.
The first good laugh I've had today...
thanks for that!
Shark Sandwich
I always felt that Spinal Tap's "Shark Sandwich" had a very literal sleeve design.
... and I seem to remember that the album garnered a two-word review.
You're forgetting
This Eddie Floyd compilation:
And this one from Booker T & The MGs:
Barbra Streisand's Butterfly
'Butter' and 'Fly' - see?

Although it does contain her refit of Bowie's Life On Mars which is worth a pop.
I especially like the intercapped 'F' in the title
just to ram the connection home.
But it isn't literal
They are not really chicks
Abbey Road
I'll get me coat...
Cant post pics sadly...
... but Johnny Guitar Watson's "Ain't That A Bitch" is pretty literal.
Must be a contender...
George Best by The Wedding Present
Although a Wishbone Ash compilation CD
Had a picture of a wishbone...and some ash. Geddit?
Like this
Yes
Indeed
Although, to be strictly accurate, it should have had a picture
of a shirt, Wishbone Ash being a brand of men's shirt in the 1960s.
(gets pedant coat)
what about?

Big Cock by King Kurt
Hallo Seemann.
Have you heard the demos?
They're amaazing.
Wasn't there a limited version
with another form of big cock on it?
Maybe i dreamt it.
A Pocket Full Of Miracles
Can't get the picture to show, you can see it here.
What's that? You want a weak pun represented literally?
No problem

We have a winner, surely?

Winner
This is the cover for Walter "Junie" Morrison's Bread Alone. Junie, best known for his work as keyboard player with funk band The Ohio Players, can be seen sitting alone, surrounded by bread.
But but but...
The bread isn't alone, it has Mr Morrison to keep it company?
I am picturing him...
making a giant sandwich and his mouth opening really wide so he can eat it in one go as often happened in Scooby Doo.
plus he's holding up a cocktail glass containing some beverage
...so bread and wine puns galore.
Looking at the cover again and the particular dough-based foodstuff featured, maybe Mr Morrison should've re-named the album:
"The best thing since..."
.
Look, she's actually ON the radio, geddit? Crikey.
