Sweet Sticky Thaang: Ohio Players Album Covers

[breakfuss]

Was thinking about how wild the Ohio Players album covers were. My pops has most of these and I remember as a kid not understanding why they excited me, lmao. Used to sneak the CDs to my room off the strength of the covers...and incidentally discovered how great of a band they were. Incredibly the only Grammy they ever received was for album art/packaging (didn't even realize that was a category). Kind of sad but it's still something. 70s must've been a different time, man ...this shyt would never fly today. And, no, idk if the one chick has alopecia.

@Love Bizarre figured you might appreciate.

Those album covers are just as classic as the music on the album

Yep. I was playing Sweet Sticky Thing at work once and had to make sure to keep that album cover minimized so no one would think I was listening to porn on my headphones.
