That would be the initial vinyl pressings of their 1978 album "Jazz", in case anyone is interested...

BTW, the model for "Whipped Cream . . " was visibly pregnant at the time; so they used a lot of shaving cream for the cover shoot.

A few contris from the polynesian and belly dance genres

I saw that one several years ago. The story I read about it is that the people doing the photo shoot went out on the street and asked women passing by if they would be willing to pose nude for an album cover. Obviously, they found some willing to do it.

As for album covers, I am surprised that nobody has demanded that Nirvana's "Nevermind" album cover be banned. If you recall, it has a photo of a nude baby boy, his genitals visible. His name is Spencer Elden and he gained enough notoriety from his baby picture that he, now an adult, makes personal appearances and gets paid for it.

Wow, I'm Out of Touch!
 

I had no idea so much great album art was out there! Thanks to all for sharing, and saving, this lost art form.:)

In terms of courting controversy - The Scorpions Virgin Killer LP cover is probably more alarming today than it was back in the 70's - hence no pic posted here by me. I bet Gary Glitter had a copy though...

:D Yeah, he files it between his copies of Blind Faith's debut LP and Led Zeppelin's "Houses of the Holy"...

Some homages to the Roxy Music "Country Life" cover.
