Taschen : Sexy Record Covers
An album cover collection exploringĀ 70 years of surprising, shocking and frankly hilarious nude and provocative art. Sexy covers sold all musical genres, from funk to punk, and the silly German schlager. Comedy albums range from mid-century āstag partyā pin-ups to the undeniably raunchy ā70s sensation, Blowfly.Ā Steamy, seamy and adults only.
Do Ya Think Iām Sexy?
The sexiest, funniest, weirdest record covers ever wrapped around vinyl
Eric GodtlandĀ has worked in the record industry for over 35 years, and collected records since turning 12 in 1977. As manager of the American band Third Eye Blind from 1995 he traveled the world, exploring record stores in every country, adding to his collection. Sexy covers were not a priority, but always welcome.
When Godtland switched to managing, and touring with,Ā Village PeopleĀ in the 2010s he encountered such eccentric, comical and erotic covers in far-flung countries he concentrated on acquiring every sexy record cover ever produced. And he succeeded. TheĀ hundreds of coversĀ in this book comeĀ from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Most are from small labels with limited production that were never seen outside their countries of origin. They range in age fromĀ Music Out of the Moon, the first electronic album, 1947, to punk band DwarvesĀ Concept Album, 2023. Genres go from mainstream pop to Japanese jazz, German schlager, raunchy comedy and uncensored sex talk. The artists are well-known:Ā Rolling Stones, James Brown, Charlie Mingus, 2 Live CrewĀ andĀ Queen; cult favorites:Ā Chicks on SpeedĀ and comicĀ Blowfly; and frankly profane:Ā Sex Organs, V8 WankersĀ andĀ The Pleasure Fuckers. All used sex to sell their music, as weāre using their wise decision to sell this sexy, surprising, entirely hilarious book.
