One that always makes these lists. And is personally offensive to me.....



I mean, seriously, what kind of goofy cartoonish Devil is that??

If you ask me, the worst sleeves are no sleeves. 'Murica!!!

I thought the sleeve was the inner paper...

I thought the sleeve was the inner paper...

Technically, you're correct. At least as far as albums go... with the 45's of course there was only the paper sleeve. Some had cover art and some didn't.

Now with the actual sleeves of albums you seemed to have 5 different categories...

Plain white paper
An enlarged version of whatever the record label's 45 sleeve was
Advertising for other recent albums released by the label (this one was big in the early 70s)
An extension of the album cover art (pictures/lyrics/whatever)
Godawful worthless plastic sleeve (more common in the 80's and 90's as CD's began to replace vinyl and nobody gave a shit about making sleeves anymore)

Obviously the plastic is worst, but as far as the worst among the "cover art" sleeves, I'd have to go with the Rolling Stones "Tattoo You"

Love the album. OK with the cover itself. Thought the inner sleeve was horrible.....
