Shift+Command+4 on my mac. Select area to screen capture, then re-size in Photoshop to 80x80. Although if people didn't know where it was from, they'd probably wonder why I have a guy showering as my avatar.

What would be worse is if they didn't think it was odd for you to have a showering man in your avatar

Just wait another day until this thread slides off the 1st page and everyone forgets. Then you'll just be the guy who has the homosexual man showering as an avatar.

Load and Re-Load with their gizz covers weren't exactly award winners either.

Most of this stuff is propably taken from this classic site:

Museum of Bad Album Covers:
http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/

It's brilliant.


I'm betting on a teenage designer on this one, but still, a tit tank?


I once considered buying this album for the cover, but my wife would never had let me put it up anywhere. In my opinion it would be perfect for a music lovers toilet decoration.


No, glitter isn't slimming you twit...


Couldn't they even picked a guy without glasses?


Oh yes, it's real. There's a classic story behind it; the Beatles didn't appreciate the way their original albums (or "babies") were "mutilated" for the American market, so when asked for a cover for Yesterday and Today, they sent the picture above. Unsurprisingly it was never used, and they used this instead:
(Is that really a tie around Harrisons neck?)

For final chuckles. The guy on the right doesn't look too happy.
