The image of a naked prepubescent girl on later editions of %u2018Virgin Killer%u2019 was replaced with a cover featuring a picture of the band due to the controversy it caused. Even the vocalist from this German heavy metal outfit admitted to feeling shocked when he first saw the image, but claims that the band were pressed into doing something controversial by their label.
Below is the brilliant cover to James' new album 'Hey Ma', the artwork that has inspired us to make this gallery. A poignant image of an innocent baby choosing between a handgun and his toys, advertising agencies have given it a wide berth. However, if you find this shocking, be warned of what is to come: Nudity, violence, macabre gore and other such things - here is our 50 most controversial and shocking covers of all time! Be warned, further into the gallery (from about 20 downwards) some of the images are not for the feint hearted! We did warn you!!
