Music Album Covers With Hands On Them – Part 4

A mosaic of 16 music album covers that feature hands.

This post is part of a series on music album covers with hands on them: part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4 (this post).

In this post, the album release dates range from 1978 to 2018, and all album covers feature hands. One album cover to call out is the Dead Kennedys "Plastic Surgery Disasters" (1982). The album’s cover does not feature a plastic surgery mishap but rather is a black-and-white photograph entitled "Hands" by photojournalist Michael Wells. This photo shows the emaciated forearm and hand of a malnourished Ugandan child in the palm of a European missionary to highlight the horrors of famine in parts of the African continent during the 1970s and 1980s.
