One could get addicted to the  extraordinarily beautiful, particularly original, but above all  strikingly designed record covers.<\/p>\n<p>This mixed art form of still  life, snapshot and self-marketing was for a long time decisive for  whether a long-playing record flopped or became a top seller &#8211; and if it  went really well, it could even become an icon. Like the covers of the  Beatles album <em>St. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band<\/em>, the Sex Pistols disc <em>Never Mind the Bollocks<\/em> or the Nirvana shocker <em>Nevermind<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>However,  some covers today attract our attention for other reasons: because they  are ugly. So ugly that they&#8217;re beautiful again! Can this be? We have  collected the ugliest and we think so. These covers are the Adidas gloss  suit and the mustache of the cover design. Hot goods!<\/p>\n<p>In the  first edition of this wall calendar, we show 12 of the ugliest examples,  the absolute low points of the design. But be careful: don&#8217;t look too  long!
