肉弾 - "プロレタリア・スポーツ", 1984. THE EXECUTE - "An Omen of Fear", 1986. THE EXECUTE - "SAVE YOUR MONEY", 1988.

DEAD COPS - "Kill the Cops", 1983. ゲんドうミサイル - "ゲ", 1985.

KENZI - "HOTニ・・・", 1985. GOD - "GET DOWN VALIS/I WANT TO FLAPPLE AND TRAIN", 1984.

KENZI - "奴をマークしろ!", 1986.

SAMURAI - "CENTER OF TOKYO", 1983. SAMURAI - "Turning Point", 1984. Onna - "Onna", 1983.

THE STALIN - "スターリニズム", 1981. THE STALIN - "STOP JAP", 1982.

Favorites anyone? I love the design of INU's Meshi Kūna and the "DEVIL MUST BE DRIVEN OUT WITH DEVIL" cover. This site was an invaluable resource for this post.

i've always liked that stalin cover with the cock and needle. ALL of lip cream's album covers that i've ever seen are kick-ass. seriously good blog; serious.

@winslow: Thanks! I think the cock and needle cover is maybe a bit TOO punky

Why are none of GISM's album covers on here? Those are pretty insane.
