It’s been way too long since we inducted some fresh meat into the Bad Album Cover Hall of Fame, so let’s remedy that.
Any kid growing up in the seventies was baffled by the moms swooning over Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdink. First of all, his name was Engelbert; second, his name was Humperdinck.
