Worst classical music album covers… ever?
After my plea for covers to help Gramophone Magazine’s quest, I was pleased to receive lots of suggestions, some of which were a little off-theme but funny nevertheless. Those I haven’t included….
So here are the best of the worst so far. Some are simply kitsch (the Westminster covers are quite witty if you look at them through period specs), some are bizarre, and some just boring.
Any more suggestions will be gratefully received!

Jessye Norman, will you please move your head away so I can see the title?
