    We’ve got bush!

  • Stefan Jones

    Oh, wow . . . the bunny is wearing a pair of those Anime-eye contact lenses.

  • DirkV

    I like how they had the title and a photo for the cover but didn’t want to work too hard to put them together nicely, so they just bounced the “L” off the rabbit’s ear.

  • MarlboroTestMonkey7

    Fake!

  • Phikus

    MDHATTER is that you welcoming Alice into the “teacup?”

  • Bloo

    Please note: Some LP covers on the site, especially some foreign ones, may be deemed NSFW (depending upon your workplace’s policies of course): semi-nude women for the most part; also there are some X-rated party records – I didn’t necessarily read the covers entirely there might be some words there offensive to your more puritanical co-workers, for example.

    It’s definitely a great site, though.

  • Stefan Jones

    Oh dear. The Alice in Wonderland cover has a distinct soft porn air about it.

  • clueless in brooklyn

    Yes, it does turn me on a bit.

  • jimh

    Wow. If you see this teapot rockin’…

  • kip w

    Lightning in his eyes
    Thunder in his thighs
    Chocolate in the peanut butter
    Apples in the pies
    Of the Mighty Hercules!

  • mujadaddy

    S’hot!!!

  • zuzu

    Anyone know why “ice capades” is two words, if it’s a play on the singular word “escapade“? It could at least have a hyphen: ice-capades.

  • Stefan Jones

    Yeow! The site also has a cover from an underwater version of Alice in Wonderland, as performed at the Wiki Watchee mermaid park.

    And an album based on a cheap cartoon I barely remember, Mighty Hercules! It has a really catchy theme song . . . something about fire in his eyes and iron in his thighs.

    • Antinous

      Hey! The Mighty Hercules is the basis of all male homosexuality in America in the early sixties. I still get, um, a funny feeling when I hear that theme song.

  • eustace

    Hercules! something of song and story
    Hercules! Winner of ancient glory
    fighting for the right
    fighting with his might
    with the strength of ten
    ordinary men
    something something, Hercules!

    (remember most of it anyway)

  • eustace

    …it’s the sound of Hercules?
    it doesn’t make sense, but that’s what I remember of the last line.

    I must have missed the underwater Alice – did you follow the Older Entries link, S. Jones?

  • Anonymous

    the funny thing is there IS a soft core porn version of Alice in Wonderland it is a musical, i just happened on it this weekend i think it was from like 1974… just a useless fact for you to chew on here is the link it is an x rate version. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074113/

  • Stef

    @Mark (or Teresa) – hope you don’t mind me pointing it out, but there’s a typo in the headline: it should be ‘old’, not ‘olf’.

    • Antinous

      Fixed. I was wondering what an olf was.

  • Phikus

    EUSTACE@19, 20: It’s on the same page as the “Alice” above. You have to click the “earlier” links a bit now to find it.

    I remember watching Hercules. Indeed, his tunic was a little too short…

    We had a different version of the Herkules song. I only remember it from the 2nd line, which went:

    Herkules! Made up of cheese and baloney
    Fighting for his life
    with a rubber knife
    with the strength of ten
    plastic army men
    etc.

  • Takuan

    like an elf, only deeper?

  • jimh

    Bwahahaha! I was so distracted by hot Alice and her furry friends, I failed to notice the headline.

    Was that a test?

  • EH

    Ain’t no “soft core” about it! Furries, food, and ersatz pedophilia?

  • Phikus

    Seriously. Surely someone else out there remembers that version..?

  • eustace

    Phikus, seriously, lol.
