So here We have John and Oko on the cover of Two Virgins. I don't have to tell whats under the Black strips! So here We are again with another Avant Garde Album Cover, "They Naked"!!! The album's title came from the couple's feeling that they were "two innocents, lost in a world gone mad", and because after making the recording, the two consummated their relationship. It was distributed by Track Records in the United Kingdom and Tetragrammaton Records in the United States, after EMI in the UK and Capitol Records in the US refused to handle it, because of the cover photo. But It is what it is!
I posted this cover not only for Record Collectors but for its Artistic values as well. It seems that this one has past the CW monitoring but my other record showing a nude Black Couple was removed because a few People found it offensive. I quess it will now be up to CW Staff to decide what we can and can't see or post when it comes to nudity. I have shown CW Staff a few postings here that have full and partial nudity and as one of our Members clearly stated, wiether this Nudity is Artistic or Porn is up to the viewer. But it nows seems it will be up to the CW Staff!
Nice vintage cover and I remember the uproar it caused. I have to tell you that I may be one of the only people around that doesn't like John Lennon after Ono deified him.
I was more worried about the deification of St/Sir Paul McC!
I have the same image from the Rolling Stone. Those were the days, my friend.
For shame !
For Shame? For What!! The human body especially in this pose is not shameful but some people see SIN everywhere. I see Art. RER
