The Durutti Column - 'The Return Of The Durutti Column The only problem with The Durutti Column was their music
I have a rare CD Video single of theirs, but no longer a machine to play it on. Good.

I own 'The guitar and other machines', which I like. Apart from that album, yes I probably agree.

Simultaneously, the worst and best album cover of all time...... The Durutti Column - 'The Return Of The Durutti Column ' First released in January 1980 in a sandpaper sleeve, inspired by Situationist Guy Debord's book 'Mémoires', which was housed in a sandpaper cover to destroy other books on the shelf. The sandpaper sleeve was assembled by members of Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, and others. While Ian Curtis did the glueing, the other members of Joy Division watched a porn movie in the same room. There were four editions of the sandpaper sleeve (total edition of 3600): FACT 14 sprayed (in black or white) and with 7"; no spray but with 7"; no spray and no 7"; or The Return Of The Durutti Column sprayed in black but without 7". Talking of 'damaging' covers - the worse for me was the bloody zip on the cover of The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers". I always had to keep that LP separate, otherwise it would damage the sleeve of the preceeding LP ( "Let it Bleed").

Obviously I still haven't got the hang of the "Quote" feature!

LOL - fixed it for you. Sometimes it's better to switch to BBCode and force an Enter after the final quote tag. Then you can switch back and proceed as normal.

You do seem to be having trouble thinking 'outside the box'!

Self Destroying covers Roy Harper - Lifemask Gentle Giant - In a glass house both superb albums but designed to only be stored in a plastic sleeve John Cooper Clark's -Orange Triangular record - can you guess ? The coming thing in LP sleeves - that never happened Live Colosseum. Designed by an idiot

In view of the subject material, I think it's best that your link stays broken

It's a pretty bad cover in light of recent happenings, and I am happy for it to be deleted if it causes offence.

I did have a hunt around to see if there was an existing thread, but drew a blank. This one is hilarious....
