Because frankly, that’s the main thing that I see when I look at this photo; a stubby, limp rainbow penis nestled atop a huge, swollen scrotum. With legs. Oh, and Bjork’s face, staring up at him. Imagine trying to take a pee with this thing in your hands.

Maybe it’s the pilot for a new Saturday morning cartoon, starring Bjork as a stubby multi-colored penis?

For some odd reason, this cover reminds me of the funniest album jacket I ever laid eyes on. This was back in those prehistoric days, when people actually listened to music by placing a large flat piece of round vinyl onto a revolving turnstile.

The album was called “Joy” by the group Apollo 100. It had a picture on the cover of a woman with wind-swept hair and an expression of utter bliss on her face. Just in case you had any question about what "joy" was supposed to look like. Either that, or her name was Joy. I was never really certain what the real story was.

Anyway, here’s what the original cover looked like:
