Album Cover Art

Let's look at #41 (out of 50) of the sexiest and dirtiest album covers as compiled by Gigwise.com:


41. Grace Jones: ‘Island Life’ -Island Life was Grace Jones' 1985 compilation album, featuring songs from her Island Records albums Portfolio, Fame, Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Living My Life, and Slave to the Rhythm. No tracks from Muse were included. The album was a huge success in the UK (reaching number #4 on the UK Album Chart in December, 1985), with "Pull Up to the Bumper" (#12 in the UK Singles Chart) and "Love Is the Drug" (#35) re-entering the charts a second time.

The cover is by Jean-Paul Goude. The body position is anatomically impossible. It's an example of Goude's cut and paint technique, and it's from 1978. Good thing, I can't see anybody posing like that, it hurts to look at it!
