For instance this one, just doesn't right off make me want to grab it off the shelf thinking "DISCO!"

SONGS THAT WERE MOTHERS
its actually a clever idea since this is a collection of discofied standards ... ( a concept thats a real mutha for ya)
with puritanical "Mom" getting liberated from getting down --- especially once you see the back cover where she's nude :icon_mrgreen:......
IF shoppers ever got to the back cover that is ....
This one .... just not well executed IMO ......
OTHERS that seemed to miss the mark in the land of disco ???? :icon_confused:

That's one of my favourite LPs of discofied standards. I think the back cover is a bit more racy. I don't have it in front of me. I liked the version of Tenderly, Temptation and I Remember You, all done slightly funky than disco. Nobody's uploaded tracks onto Youtube.
This is Tenderly, but from Billy Jackson's Citizen Band (just to give people a listen to one discofied standard). The 12inch mix, which is different from the LP, featuring Bernard Purdie on drums, and featuring the Sigma Sweethearts on vocals.
Sorry, I don't have any tacky album covers in mind right now. There was one track on 12inch that was called Disco Sissy by Holt Redd that had a funny cover.

I had no doubt you would be familiar with this DF .:icon_biggrin:
Left out is one pertinent bit of info I was sure you'd fill in ......the producer of this LP was
our beloved Dave -YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE etc. - Crawford . :icon_cool:

Keep It On Ice from Croisette was on a compilation from Hot Productions, so that's how I got into it. And I liked it a lot. Then when I ordered the album on CD, yes, I was scratching my head at the cover. I guess it was one of those 'you had to be there' ideas. I prefer the covers with the half naked women lathered in soap or wearing see-through tops. :)

Boney M's image was so racey initially. It's hard to believe the same group went on to become every granny's fave with stuff like 'Marys Boy Child' & 'Rivers of Babylon'.:icon_eek:

Whistler's mother? Why this particular reference?
Some Cerrone lp's covers are sometimes awful (a shame, because the music isn't) or with an obvious detail: the dirty feet of the girl on the picture, the bad collage and the nipple on the back (first album), the cream on the floor, kind of disgusting (second album) and the ridiculous drawing inside "Cerrone IV"...
The cover of Diana Ross' 1999 album could surely have been better than this one:

Dirty feet was a problem with Sheila B.Devotion too! Well, their shoes anyway - they often had grubby shoes on their photos.

While I agree it doesn't scream DISCO, I thought the idea behind this was very clever, it was the follow-up LP to their Seven Deadly Sins LP, which featured Rinder and Lewis on the cover, and this is a picture of their Fathers, If I recall correctly it was taken while on a fishing trip with their sons.I've never understood this one and it certainly didn't make me wanna go listen to it at the time

it is clever in the way you explain it TDK.................but as an image, did it sell disco music ???
Come to think of it would that cover sell any kind of music ??? :icon_confused: :icon_confused: :icon_confused:
Hmm ...maybe "BELOVED BAR SONGS FROM THE OLD COUNTRY " .. :icon_question:....
here's another one that was perhaps too clever for its shirt :
It does such a good job of closely mirroring the standard classical records being released at the time .....
Philharmonics
TRACKLISTING:
Side A
1. For Elise (4:39) [Beethoven]
2. Lullaby (4:11) [Brahms]
3. Prince Igor 1st theme from Polovtsian Dance (4:19) [Borodin]
4. Symphony No. 5 from The New World (4:31) [Dvorak]
Side B
1. Piano Concerto (3:21) [Tchaikovsky]
2. Reverie (3:43) [Schumann]
3. 1812 Overture (6:22) [Tchaikovsky]
4. A la turka (3:42) [Mozart]
I'm not sure the average record store shopper typically caught the subtle distinction...

I can see how the LP cover could have been off-putting for browsers. But the music inside is really good!
