What's Stranger Than Bill Shatner Singing "Mr. Tambourine Man?"

Here's yet more from Paul Belker's amazing collection, this time it's strange album covers. Check out his site for even more high weirdness. As mentioned in an earlier post, his thriftstore art collection is really something, too.

Some of these are curious...

some are so wrong they're right...

and some are just plain wrong...

Hey, 'I love that McGoo cover'. That typeface is great - T26 has one for sale similar to it on their site called 'Sawdust Marionette.'

They also have one called 'Boxspring.' I don't know why I mention that;)
