Worst record ever?

I had the misfortune of spotting Sarah Vaughan's "Songs of the Beatles" at my local record store and, intrigued, I bought it since it was only $2. I'm still traumatized a few hours after listening to it; who and why would ever release a record that bad? I love Sarah as a jazz singer but her rendition of the Beatles' songs is absolutely atrocious. I just can't believe someone made a decision to actually release it.

How about that last Eagles record..I can't remember the title..something about Eden.
They sounded like a bad imitation of the Backstreet Boys.
Probably the most disappointing album ever released from one of my all time favorite bands.

Leonard Nimoy-I walk the line......serioulsy? he crossed it when he agreed to record it. Evidentially pinted ears are tone deaf.

kitschy but cool...certainly not sara vaughn's finest moment, but hardly a waist of time...as beatles tributes go, keely smith sings the beatles is way better..as is booker t. and the m.g.'s mclemore avenue.

Even my drug-induced coma that most refer to as the eighties couldn't dampen the blow of Eddie Murphy's album.
BTW, my fave Shatner cover is "Rocket Man". Like the movies "Mommie Dearest" and "Can't Stop the Music", it's so bad it's good. Which brings up the lament: How come Bruce Jenner never took a stab at singing?
No worries though. Other "actors" like Chuck Norris totally fill the void!
