Creepiest Album Covers

A much redacted version of scorpians Virgin Killer album cover. I was wondering if it was love at first sting... but no.

Many cans of Aquanet gave their lives to make this photo shoot happen.
I am not a lawyer, but in the US, I believe several lawsuits were judged in favor of plaintiffs against 3rd parties that secured permission from parents for questionable activities when the plaintiff was a minor.Re the Blind Faith cover:
Well, parent's permission is obviously required, as a minor can't consent to nude photos in any context.
It's the use of the photo is key; here, I think it's art and not exploitation, cutting edge tho' it is.
When I look at that pic, I find it interesting and unusual in breaking the taboos that apparently so disturb some here of portraying an adolescent in the nude. And the model plane is almost funny.
I do not have a prurient interest, however.
I reckon it's the old Justice Potter Stewart definition of porn at play.
I don't see it on that album cover, tho' some of you might.
BTW, the explanation on wiki of the U2 cover on Songs of Innocence (I showed above) is excellent, spot on, and relevant, I think, to the Blind Faith cover, also - it seems to be a portrayal of issues of innocence ...
... or just a nekkid bid for publicity thru controversy.
Again, not a lawyer.
Don’t go there; years ago I made what I thought was an innocuous joke about that picture here, and got reprimanded.
