1974's Sexiest Album Covers


America's largest record retailer, Sears,  refused to stock Buffy Saint-Marie's MCA debut Buffy because she exposes a breast on the album cover. Buffy said the photo " is a good-natured protest against gloom, as well  as support for any woman's right to take off her own shirt". In that spirit here are a few more of 1974's sexiest album covers.


So scandalous a cover that future American printings only showed the evergreen trees.




Is that hose supposed to represent something?




 Hard rockin' Slavs.



Mood music from popular -tho cheesy- Italian sax player



Chaka Khan is one of the decade's sexiest frontwomen



Robert Palmer's debut, backed by the Meters




The single, "Le Sud", sold a million copies. 



Jimmy Cliff may have been a breast man in the mid 70's



Cannonball Adderly's horoscope influenced horror



When they weren't  playing with George Harrison and Joni Mitchell, they were laying down a groove for future hip hop stars.




German prog



Hard rocking Brits





One of soul's sexiest singers of the decade
