I've just seen in a Braz website an article about the most polemic record covers. They named some:
- Unfinished Music Nē 1 - Two Virgins
- Yesterday... and Today (replaced)
- Electric Ladyland - banned in US - really???
- Sticky Fingers - because that close, banned in Spain. (??!!) ---- Oh, Franco, of course!!!
- Appetite for Destruction: because the rape
- Amorica: because the grass
Down here, the alternative artist "Tom Ze" had problems with a cover too, in 1973, because the cover of a record named "Todos os Olhos" (All the Eyes).
At those times, the militar gov't didnt like too much...
You, any suggestions?

The original Beggars Banquet album cover was rejected and replaced with a formal invitation. |

I heard some minor rumblings over the years about Led Zep's Houses of the Holy because of the nude pre-teens on it, as well as I believe Blind Faith's cover with the young girl on it topless. How about Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove? lol that was a good one.... |

I can remember back in the late 80s, there used to be a Canadian punk band called the Day-glo Abortions and a couple of their album covers raised a real stink: these were for the albums "Feed Us a Fetus" and "Two Dogs Fucking" (no need to post pictures for these, they are pretty much self-explanatory). |

Well! I don't know what happened there ,but what's so offensive about Appetite for Destruction?.... Compared to Al- Jazeera it's Nursery School. |

The tattoo cover of Appetite for Destruction wasn't the original artwork for the album. If you open the CD booklet to the middle you'll see a cartoon of the girl with her panties down and some sort of robot standing above her (suggestions of rape) --- that was supposed to be the original cover. |

Anyhow, I think all Kiss covers should be banned of the whole world

roxy music's country life which featured two scantily clad maidens (one whom had her pubic hair on show, whoa) often had the background minus the women, or half the women as the cover for the US market. jeez had those people never seen a naked chick in their lives?!

Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs' had the male genitalia air-brushed out.
Pistols 'Bollocks' album was not allowed to be displayed in some British record stores at the time of its release Due to Bollocks being slang for 'Balls'and/or'Bullshit"
Alice Coopers'Schools Out' album.Although it wasn't the cover that came into question but a pair of white lace panties that came with every album upon its initial release ,they were wrapped around the record itself and after reports of the panties being highly flammable were thereafter removed and discontinued! |

The long forgotten Mom's Apple Pie's self titled album is probably one of the more controversial ones
Looks innocent enough until you examine the cover a bit more closely :
After word got out, retailers demanded that Capitol Records do something about it. They did. They filled the slice up with bricks, surrounded it with barbed wire, and raised the American Flag. |

I remember a few complaints about this one at the time:
The Dead Kennedys one that Jizzy refers to was probably the most controversial I can remember. Wasnt it the poster that came with it that upset people the most, though? |
