That was bizarre...I posted the link once, and nothing actually posted.

I replied to this thread 4 times, each time posting a link, and still nothing.

FINALLY the fifth time I posted in this thread, the link actually posted.

Strange...

As it should be!! I used to have the original Virgin Killer album jacket, but I think my Mom threw it in the trash because of the naked chickee on the cover. Cool stuff in 1976...

[Dave's Bitch]

I met up with them VERY briefly years back and they're actually pretty decent, friendly guys - that are just selling a product to a particular audience, I'm sure.

Still it's not my thing, but I will say their cover of "Zero the Hero" was one of the more interesting Black Sabbath remakes I've heard over the years...

Love your new av, DB :)

[Big Fat Sammy]

:D WTF????

[BITEYOASS]

I don't know why Andrew W.K. is on there. He didn't even victimize anyone. Besides, that motherfucker puts maximum intensity in all aspects of his music. Even down to the album covers.

I have that Virgin Killers album with the girl on front. I read she was 16, the age of consent.
Great tunes on there!
Also, the album Taken By Force was banned as well. It origionally came with a photo of a cemetary full of tomb stones on the cover. Banned in North America.
All the Scorpions music from the 70's was great. It never got the reconition it was due.

Smell the Glove (Polymer, 1982): The band’s 14th album, rated B+ by Entertainment Weekly. The U.S. tour to support the album was the basis of Marty DiBergi’s documentary, "This is Spinal Tap." Also known as the Black Album after Polymer bowed to demands from retailers such as Sears and K Mart to block out the "sexist" cover.

The original cover depicted, in the words of Polymer rep Bobbi Flekman, a "greased, naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash and a man’s arm extended out up to here holding on to the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it."

The band had considered the cover a gag, with Ian noting that their original concept included something much more provocative than a glove. David: "You know, if we were serious and we said, ‘Yes, she should be forced to smell the glove,’ then you’d have a point, but it’s all a joke." Nigel: "It is and it isn’t. She should be made to smell it, but..." David: "But not, you know, over and over." After seeing the Black Album for the first time in Milwaukee during a sound check, the responses ranged from Ian’s "simple, beautiful, classic," to Nigel’s "It’s like a black mirror" to David’s "It looks like death" to Nigel’s "How much more black could this be? and the answer is ‘None. None...more black’ " to David’s "This is something you put around your arm. You don’t put this on your fucking turntable."

Ian, nevertheless, declares the album as a "turning point." The black cover has often drawn comparisons to the Beatles’ "White Album," as well as their infamous "Yesterday and Today" butcher cover. See also America; Japanese tour, 1982; Metallica; Tap Into America; Zappa, Frank.
