One of the most notorious was The Beatles' "Butcher" cover. They were dressed like happy butchers, holding chunks of meat and very dead-looking baby dolls.
Another example: the ALICE COOPER "Love it to Death" cover. Alice's thumb looked like something else. (Which isn't saying much for Alice.) Warners recalled the cover.
I have rare stuff like that. I have the original "TWO VIRGINS" cover with John and Yoko clothed. Ohhh, what bad outfits!
I have Pink Floyd's test album cover for "THE STALL."
It was Roger Waters' idea to do a musical based on the symbolism of not being able to get inside a men's room toilet. Is the stall door stuck, or is there somebody inside? Our hero Roger bangs his willie against the stall. No answer. He bangs again, singing "Another prick in the stall." Oh, the problem of modern man, creating an elaborate building for a wee, when going behind a tree was how nature intended?
Roger was not merely some drugged-out prog-rocker with pretentious ideas. He was a visionary.
He played his songs abut needing to release his waters, but the rest of the band said he was full of shit.
What causes a typo? A slip of the finger, or the printer mis-hears what the title of the song is supposed to be
Among my prizes...
