The other day we realized that nearly all of our femmes fatales released records at some point, so we have a megapost of sleeves below representing a fraction of these multi-talented women’s musical output.

U.S.A., England, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Turkey, Netherlands, Italy, Marilyn Chambers, Farrah Fawcett, Meiko Kaji, Sylvia Kristel, Abigail, Linda Yamamoto, Jayne Mansfield, Reiko Ike, Eartha Kitt, Christina Lindberg, Diana Dors, Elke Sommer, Radiah Frye, Fatma Girik, Nancy Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Britt Ekland, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Jane Birkin, Monica Vitti, sex symbol, nudity
