Joe's obsession with U2 is easy to explain. Imagine how their first record must have caught his eye and stirred new and exciting feelings.

There's an alarming amount of pedo shit on album covers.

Blind Faith (UK release) is pretty much the apex.

Seidemann wrote that he approached a girl reported to be 14 years old on the London Underground about modelling for the cover, and eventually met with her parents, but that she proved too old for the effect he wanted. Instead, the model he used was her younger sister Mariora Goschen, who was reported to be 11 years old.[7] Mariora initially requested a horse as a fee but was instead paid £40.[7][8]

Thanks pedo album cover fact bot!

also the cover for the Scorpions “Virgin Killer”

The original cover art for the album depicted a nude ten-year-old girl,[11] with a shattered glass effect obscuring her genitalia. The image was designed by Steffan Böhle,[12] who was then the product manager for the West German branch of RCA Records.[10] Francis Buchholz was the bassist for the band and, in an interview conducted in early 2007, recollects that the model depicted on the cover was either the daughter or the niece of the cover designer.[13] The photograph was taken by Michael von Gimbut.[14] The band's rhythm guitarist Rudolf Schenker offers the following description of the circumstances behind the album cover:

We didn't actually have the idea. It was the record company. The record company guys were like, "Even if we have to go to jail, there's no question that we'll release that."

It's a shame Nirvana - Nevermind never tickled his fancy, he could have followed in Kurt's footsteps too.

The album DOA by Throbbing Gristle came with some pedo calendar. The band got death threats over it I think.

There was music inside that picture?

Saw it on eBay a few years ago actually, going for $50.

korn had a child abduction on their first album cover. I guess at least they weren't trying to be artsy with it, just brass tacks pedoing

The song "Daddy" from that album was originally written from the perspective of an adult who was getting ready to rape a child.

Age.
