The Worst Record Covers In The World

08/06/2026

A once in a lifetime experience!
I loved meeting our very special guest of honour John Thompson, JT, whose Peter Rabbitt album cover started me off on this joyful journey collecting terrible album covers. JT and his girlfriend Day planned a trip to the UK to coincide with the exhibition opening at Mansfield Museum and Art Gallery . Warm and charming, full of stories and so much fun.
We gave interviews to Mark Brown from The Guardian (you may have noticed!) and Ian Watkins, Watko from Mansfield 103.2 FM . Thanks so much to Christopher Neil, Kirsty and all the crew at Mansfield Museum and Art Gallery who made us so welcome . The exhibition runs in Mansfield until August 29th and we'll be taking a smaller version of the exhibition to Assembly George Square Studios Bar Assembly Festival at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 7-31st. Come and see us there or there!

People often ask if I'm still collecting covers or if I've got all the worst album covers that have ever been made and the answer is they keep making 'em. This is the brand new offering from The Rolling Stones 😆
