These are all in the Tower Records Occ Health and Safety Manual as examples of unfortunate cover art episodes.

From top left, clockwise: 1) The piano caught on fire and also swallowed the woman sitting on it, spat out a bunch of bones and a bra. 2) The broom caught in the blue cape and five sets of long legs “turn a little more to the left… that’s it… a bit mor- !” – bitch get off my cape and out of my shot, panic ensued within three minutes everyone was strangled, including the photographer, a tea lady, and a passing busload of tourists.

3) The middle guy’s hairpiece was from a backstreet taxidermist and was actually stunned roadkill, a wolverine that came to and was not happy. Good thing the jackets were red, it didn’t look quite so awful afterwards. 4) No -one thought to file the can’s edges before the band members climbed in there. True troopers, they kept smiling for the shoot even as decapitated heads. 5) Rogue hand (see it at far left ) moving in for the kill and 6) photographer: ” all at once, a little to the left, a little more look into the viewfinder keep stepping… yes…”

All preventable, except for rogue hand. No-one can ever risk assess that fucker away.

So gory, goodness, where did that come from. Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel in a can, fairytales can be pretty gruesome, not as bad as these records most likely sound though.
