How the hell were they allowed to make this album cover back then?

There wasn't such an insane pedo fixation like there is now, so nude cherub-like children wouldn't be seen as obscene. Now, that Scorpions album cover was just inexcusable.

That and the Blind Faith one

I always thought those were supposed to be aliens or something.

They didn't have wokeness and third wave feminism back then.

What kind of person do you imagine?

Nude children were a fixture in art from ancient times until my own lifetime. It's socially conservative, moralizing zoomers and milennials that declared a fatwa on it

The BF cover is slightly less egregious, but yeah still very questionable given the girl is pubescent. Plus, it's easy to imagine the coked-out logic behind it: "Roight let's have a topless bird on the cover... no we can't have tits? Roight then get one with no tits."

plus the Scorpions one was deliberately provocative. I wonder how Ride got away with the Grasshopper EP though.

What surprises me is that they never censor it or made an alternative less-controversial cover for that one kek, they even animated it for Apple Music

How the hell were the allowed to make this painting back then?

false equivalence

Me pissing on your claims of false equivalence

>the Scorpions one was deliberately provocative
Provocative is one thing, Animal Magnetism for instance is provocative without being utterly tasteless. The VK cover is just shocking with no real artistic statement behind it.

>Grasshopper EP
Lol, never seen that one. This cover is a bit more artful, but I still wouldn't want it in my collection.

Another example of course is the Bow Wow Wow album, where the nude pose made to look artistic but is knowingly controversial due to her age.

They censor it. OPs version is already a censored version. The real cover did not have writing on it

>>126762199
not clicking that

>>126763248
although it's still showed like that in streaming services kek I believe the censored one was only for physical copies

jimmy page wanted to feature his girlfriend on the album cover, what's the issue?

You're definitely a weird faggot freak who thinks about pedo shit way too often if you're offended by the fucking Nevermind cover and cherub art lol

This made me chuckle
