You're all wrong, it's this:



Not only is it a great cover, it''s a brilliant album !!!
It's not the nudity, it's the expressions on their faces. Women's Lib at its best.

This was the first time the band members appeared on album artwork. I love its directness.

Just shows how far the PC brigade has come that there is reluctance or even shame felt in thinking this let alone posting it.  The naked human form is not for the beauty of itself but is seen as exploitation.  I do wonder why it is so un-pc as a human (usually male) to be told to not find the female/male form attractive and why it is expected to feel sordid and worthless to do so.

Does this make Venus de Milo sordid or Angelo's David and a million other art works un-pc and exploitative.
You’re right, the world has become a strange place.

Depends on intent. And ultimately 99.9% of people, men and women, have no issue with it. Like everything there is a small vocal minority on both sides of any argument who want us all to believer either of their extreme viewpoints. The reality being that the real world is neither black nor white but many shades of grey. That goes for every divisive topic, and the world would be a much better place if more time were given to the viewpoints of the average person rather than the extremes.

There is a huge amount of far more sexually suggestive content in modern music than in anything from the 70s or 80s, including in the artwork. No one normal is complaining about it, either way.

Regardless, back on the original topic, here's my submission. Rob always has good artwork. Mondo Sex Head.
