Type O Negative’s Origin of the Feces is right up there with some of these covers. It it basically a close up shot of an asshole. Somehow though I maganed to find it on tape at Borders back in the day, in the budget bin. Wish I knew where it ended up, could probably sell it on Ebay.
Coolness. How about Roger Waters’ ‘Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking”?

The Lennons could use a little trim…just sayin’.
Don’t forget Roxy Music’s “Country Life” I always peaked at the Roxy Music LP section at Record Land! Oh yeah, Montrose’s “Jump On It” too!
