Fear of Smell

Variation #190

Front and Back Cover

From @thatsuproar account on Instagram.

I tell ya, there’s something appealing about these smeary ones.

Variation #189

Front Cover

“Fear of Mother Friggin Smell Compilation Album”

Complete with a dick to the head, or perhaps a really, really bad case of kidney stones?

From @you_cant_eat_records on Instagram

This was available @permanentrecordsla a few years back for $12! A steal for this masterpiece. We’ve seen this dude before, except he was wearing a hat in Variation #39. Maybe he lost it in the subsequent move from NY to LA?

“Racistism. Fucken Shit! Oh yeah

The fucking justice in Amerika!”

So predating Black Klansman by two decades, this cover does pretty much what that movie did.

Variation #185

Front Cover

Back Cover

Submitted by @zombiebot on Instagram to the Fear of Smell account. So, let’s try to make sense of this – a banana, a zipper, a kilroy style bubble eyes peeking over… a…. horizon? And a star of david spraypainted on a green back. I didn’t drop enough acid for this.

Variation #184

Front Cover

Back Cover

“Soon to be a 16 part miniseries on CBS. Subject to numerous test crashes by NBC Capable of reading the ABCs”

“I was just noticing the small number of women on this album how obviously sexist Boycott this album & go get tattooed & pierced till the world is right”

“Fanshen rules”

Lots to unpack there, firstly Fanshen were a New Jersey band. I suspect that this might be a special deal. Found on ebay (it went for $31). I think (think?) that the squiggles might be an attempt to do some tribal ink style art which was huuuuuge in the 90’s.

Variation #183

Front Cover

Back Cover

A thing from ebay with very very little information.

Variation #182

This one submitted on Facebook to a music related group by Kevin Lee – “Featuring Your Fucking Mother”. Well what else could I post near to Mother’s Day?

Variation #181

This one also copped from the 90’s Facebook Group – this one posted by David Louie – a most excellent version with upside down cross. The near ubiquitous “Fuck Off” making an appearance in the top right hand corner.
