Sathington Willoughby Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 "Vagrant bassist" Maan can't JPJ ever catch a break? I know right? Check this one out, he has to give up one of his spots to Peter Grant. I think this is the only one with just Jonesy on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I kinda like the Sgt Page theme! They probably coulda done a better job with it though. Like this, but they coulda put Zep related/favorite people in the background, like the Yardbirds, Crowley (wait hes already on there) Howlin' Wolf, Ahmet Ertegun, PJ Proby, Bert Jansch, etc. Not bad, eh? (This tiny thumbnail is the only one I could find. You get the idea though.) Looks like I wasn't the only one with that idea... Not so sure about some of their inclusions... The Clash and Johnny Rotten? Really? And why the jab at Beatlemania? Ok, I guess now we see if we can name everyone on the cover, here's what I got: The Clash Johnny Rotten The Beatles Robert Johnson Elvis Presley Les Paul Lori Maddox Louis Armstrong? Peter Grant lol... just spotted Gollum by JPJ's leg and the guy behind Ringo looks pretty familiar, can't place it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dame Flo Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I see young JRR Tolkien behind JP, between Elvis and Lori Maddox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yep, good eye Dame Flo! I thought he looked familiar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 hmm... I thought the guy in the hat here was Johnny Rotten, guess he's a member of the Clash? Also, is that Little Richard peeking out behind him? (the one in the hat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still not wrap my head around the Blueberry Hill artwork The first one is actually a "reworking" of the album Iron Butterfly Live.

BeenALongTime Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Wendy has done some interesting ones in the past. Live Peace In Hiroshima is a spoof of Live Peace In Toronto by John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band Aloha Hawaii is a spoof of Blue Hawaii by Elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZepHead315 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I put together an Imgur album with some of the worst ones I've encountered. Some of them have already been posted here, but MAN, there is no shortage of bad bootleg art out there! Warning: some of these covers may be NSFW: https://imgur.com/a/6tioRvv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This may surprise people but I have never liked William Stout's cover art for "Bonzo's Birthday Party". I usually love Stout's bootleg art but not this one. Another cover I thought was particularly bad was the reissue cover for "My Brain Hurts". It's like a bad 1980s fashion ad. The original art for "My Brain Hurts" was far superior. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the shrink was off the "Pig Flyer" got tucked away inside the sleeve. Edited July 29, 2020 by JTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
