Ugly covers!

[Craig Shipley]

These electrons were spewed across my screen...


>And, yes, I found the song on Space Bandits (with the ugliest Hawkwind
>cover ever!!), a nice record, a bit short, though.

Oh?   I kinda liked it...

I think there are far worse Hawkwind Covers.

Agreed! Like "Bring Me The Head Of Yuri Gargarin"; ugly gray and red cover (look at it
from across the room, it is an axe-head falling in front of a moon) with ugly (quality) music
on the inside. "Space Bandits" just looked kinda cheap and generic sci-fi, but it's not bad...
And how about "California Brainstorm"; the Golden Gate Bridge pokin' out of a fogbank...
And most of the quasi-official recordings have less-than-stellar cover art... and that "bird"
on the front of "Sonic Attack" is just plain goofy-lookin!!

Not that I can do any better, mind you, just playin' art critic...

How about best covers? Mine would have to be ASAM, QS&C (I dig the control room gear), HotMG
and WotEoT.

"Gimme Shelter" for starters.
