Comment:

A Vibenstein tradition - twice a year I make up a compilation (actually a double CD rather than cassette) of the best, worst and most bizarre records I've stumbled across in the previous six months. I'll leave you to work out which tracks fit into which category. ;-) The sleeve design is based on the series of "Top Of The Pops" albums, popular in the UK in the 1970s, which consisted of recent hits cheaply re-recorded by anonymous session musicians. They would always list the titles down the right hand side of the sleeve, beside a gratuitous picture of an attractive lady, usually in a bikini.

Interesting concept, but I couldn't imagine why you'd want to hear the worst music you've heard in the past six months again.
And an cool cover idea--I didn't know about those Top of the Pops records. But what's the matter with that woman? She would actually be attractive if not for the horribly elongated mouth

Don't confuse "bad" with "mediocre" - some records are so awful they demand to be heard repeatedly. Tom Jones' "Tom Jones International", for example. :-) The idea with the sleeve was that instead of an attractive woman as on the original sleeves, I would use a really ugly woman, but I couldn't find anyone ugly enough, so I had to grab a random picture from the internet and make it hideously ugly. If the lady in the picture is reading this... sorry. :-/
