What about the first Moby Grape album with the “finger” cover?

Honorable mentions to this list that I can think of off the top of my head would be the picture disc version of the German movie soundtrack “Schulmadchen Report”, Tones on Tails, “Pop”, The Angry Samoans, “Inside My Brain” Big Black, “Headache” The Scorpions, “Lovedrive” and the two albums by Witchfinder General. (I forgot the name of the second album, but the first one was called “Death Penalty”) On the other hand, the only band/album that I have listed here that was recalled and repackaged would be “Lovedrive” by The Scorpions. The rest, I don’t believe were recalled or repackaged. Also it should be noted that the BRITISH cover for Jimi Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” was too shocking for the American market, and instead, they used the picture that was used for the British version of “Are You Experienced?” for the U.S. version.

Rev. Loveshade is not a hypocrit he’s a Discordian. And the cover model is not a photo of a nude jailbait girl its a painting. Get yourself a pair of glasses, Gilbert!

Though its not deemed as a banned controversial album, The album “Disraeli Gears” by Cream has a very humorous tiny picture. (I can’t remember which side of the album jacket it was on). The album is basically a collage of different pictures. And the one that I am referring to is the picture of Eric Clapton standing with a smile on his face and in his left hand he is holding a syringe (most likely Heroin) and injecting the syringe into Superman’s right arm. I still laugh about it even today.

@Reverend Loveshade You’re ranting against the young naked girls on Blind Faith and Virgin Killer, but you have a picture of an underaged naked PREGNANT girl on the cover of Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht? Just what kind of a hypocrit are you? http://anaphoraliterary.wordpress.com/catalogue/reverend-loveshade/

I remember seeing that picture in #4 from the movie ‘Vaniila Sky at the end with all the flashes of pictures’

Five pages of comments and only one mention of ‘Houses of the Holy.’ I’d have thought the “Decency Brigade” would have been all over that one.

AMEN!! What the hell is wrong with people these days? They can look at images of violence, torture and death and barely an eye, but show them a bit of skin – especially if the model is under 18 – and they’re instantly afflicted with terminal self-righteousness. What’s the big deal? It’s just nudity. It’s nothing to be ashamed of – or afraid of.

Odd too that nude images of young girls seem to push their buttons a lot more than similar images of young boys. Why the apparent double standard?

I’m observing a lot of posts for the cover for The Blind Faith album with the prepubescent girl holding on to the toy airplane. But take a look at the cover of the album “Houses Of The Holy” by Led Zeppelin. That should be beyond controversial in my opinion…….
