I was the same age as that girl (give or take a year or two) when the Blind Faith album came out so I consider myself excused.
Good album btw.Here's the story of how that cover came to be;

No hair shows you care.
or the Blind faith LP, any mag with the first kate bush promo shots or in fact any very early release on Virgin Records. It's fucking ridiculous.

I didn't go through all of it - did it have Big Black's 'Headache', limited edition version?? That actually made me gag when I saw it. Still not as gruesome as the number 1, though - crivens!I also remember Ramleh did an LP that had an autopsy photo on the cover (industrial band in autopsy art shocker - ho hum).
ah "return to slavery" LP? I've got that. actually, i think quite a lot of the Ramleh/Broken Flag covers has images like that. Ditto early SPK stuff. and the cover to leather nun 'slow death' of the guy outside a bologna cafe who had caught the force of a nailbomb. I also remember a whitehouse gig flyer (maybe for the centro) which had a decapitated body on a mortuary slab with the head at his feet. such a funny idea when you think the purpose a 'flyer' to promote a gig generally serves.
i always though (as well as being graphically brilliant) the fold out sleeve in the 2nd issue of feeding ("your country needs you" with burnt hand) was pretty creepy. never understood quite how so any folk i knew would have it stuck up on their walls.

I remember when I got a copy of that on tape. It took me ages to find it because the shop insisted on turning the tape cover inside out. I can't imagine why.

Hmmm, do you really need the birds and the bees explaining to you?

The online watchdog, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), has withdrawn its objection to a Wikipedia page that contained an image of a naked girl.
The page of the online encyclopaedia shows an album cover of German heavy metal band Scorpions, released in 1976.
A number of internet providers blocked the page after IWF said it could be "potential illegal child sexual abuse."
The IWF now says that given the age and availability of the image, it was no longer on its list of proscribed sites.
IWF's overriding objective is to minimise the availability of indecent images of children on the internet, however, on this occasion our efforts have had the opposite effect
Internet Watch Foundation
Volunteers who run Wikipedia said it was not for the foundation to censor the site, which is one of the web's most popular.
They also argued that the image was available in a number of books and had never been ruled illegal.
In a statement on its website, the IWF said that the image could still potentially breach the Protection of Children Act 1978, but "in light of the length of time the image has existed and its wide availability, the decision has been taken to remove this webpage from our list."
Wikipedia volunteer David Gerard said he and fellow users were angry that as well as the photo, the text on the page had been blocked.
"Blocking text is a whole new thing - it's the first time they've done this on such a visible site," he said.
The IWF admitted that its attempts to prevent people seeing the image had been counter productive.
"IWF's overriding objective is to minimise the availability of indecent images of children on the internet, however, on this occasion our efforts have had the opposite effect. We regret the unintended consequences for Wikipedia and its users."
