No, the best thing is 'When First Into This Country' which is Strawb being at his best.

The sleeve for Nine was about as uninspired as the album title.

Yep, no argument from me.

There is uninspired and then there is downright embarrassing.

Is my nomination too. Must be this poll's clearest winner  ;D
Second worst: The Five Seasons , the Star issue. Wrestling unicorns, mushrooms (!) and flowers!  :o

so many bad ones, which to choose?
Myths and heroes, mainly for desecrating the memory of full house

I was tempted to go for Nine, but Sense of Occasion pips it to the post. The name and the design are equally as bad.

Really? There are many problems with the album, not least of all the title but surely the sleeve is just an homage to Nine.
