There have been some truly awful album titles and designs over the last 50 years. Some covers may be doomed to awfulness by the artist's face-made-for-radio looks or clothing; others by a compelling odd choice of props or layout; many simply by an incomprehensibly strange (or incomprehensible) choice of title or subject. "Seriously Bad Album Covers!" brings together the very worst of the previous two volumes along with a whole new gamut of bad jackets - a total of over 225 album covers whose sheer bad taste ensure they will have a place in the annals of music history for evermore
