An award-winning exhibition celebrating the world's most awful record covers arrives at the Grosvenor Museum this month.

Steve Goldman, who created the collection, began collecting record covers three decades ago.

Since the exhibition began touring the country in 2021, it has featured on BBC's Have I Got News For You, BBC Radio 4's Front Row, BBC Breakfast, The Guardian, Metro and the "i" newspaper.

Chester's Grosvenor Museum will host the temporary exhibition this month. It will include a selection of Goldman's collection, which is now 700 in total.

Running until early next year, visitors can explore Goldman's extensive range of "unintentionally funny" record covers, vote for their three favourites, and listen to some tracks from the albums.

"Some people spend fortunes collecting fine art but no one collects dreadful LP covers," Goldman added.

"I want records where the designers have tried to do something that's gone horribly wrong. It can't just be a performer in bad clothes or with an ugly face- though there are a couple of those that have got in that were irresistible.

"And it all has to be good clean family fun - I don't collect any album covers that are gory, violent, sexist, homophobic or racist."

Goldman, who had a stroke in 2020, asks visitors to the free exhibition to make a donation to Different Strokes, a charity that supports young stroke survivors.

Grosvenor Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10.30am to 5pm, and Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. Entry is free but donations are welcome.

'Worst Record Covers in the World' runs from 26 September to 17 January 2027.
