the Harris title makes sense in context with the album art, the woman's hand holding a bon-bon or truffle or whatever
but why single out the 70's? i mean there aren't many worse album titles than say 'Dongs of Sevotion' or 'Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle'

― geeta, Saturday, 1 October 2011 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, time to defend prog rock :
Van der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other is a quote from artist John Minton - "We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other", which isn't very quirky at all.
Gentle Giant - Pretentious - For the Sake of It. Never heard of this, probably a bootleg if it exists.
Caravan - yes awful, although I quite like the Blind Dog At St Dunstans title.

The design meeting for that Small Faces cover must have been something:
Designer 1: "So the cover's gonna be a record on a turntable, but the pickup's an engine."Designer 2: "Eh, it's missing something."Designer 3: "What if the needle was gouging a tear in the record?"Designer 2: "Hmm...

I love these album titles because like - - is the idea to convey that the band are just a bunch of cut-ups, some regular goofy guys who might do well as sitcom guest stars even while they make you boogie? So put 'em on and give 'em a spin! Or something? And yet somehow all it conveys to me when flipping through the dollar bin is "well, this looks boring and inessential as hell, I can safely skip that one."

Yeah, definitely, it's very "No concept album to be found here, y'all! Just tryin' to provide some plain 'n' simple entertainment!" This doesn't apply to the prog versions of course.
Also it seems like record companies saved their laziest graphic designers and worst cardboard for records with these titles, they just always look so shabby and awful. Exceptions abound - that "Cunning Stunts" cover isn't bad aside from the title.

Hmmm, tough to say...these things break apart by genre I think. Did the "we're just a fun, no-fuss party band!" thing even exist in the 90s?

I saw this and thought it was maybe a modern day version of this, but I think it's slightly too subtle? The title really needs to written in a font at least the same size as the artists name, and the cover should be a close up of the ace of clubs, with a hand pointing at the club.

Was kinda thinking, after the Joan upthread, that it'd be cool to assemble a record collection entirely of 70s albums where the artist is in front of a blue sky background. Four hundred copies of Leo Sayer's Endless Flight, mysteriously available in every thrift store box in the lower forty-eight states, would line the walls, floors and ceiling, creating weird perspective effects where it looks like Leo, looking like a poor man's Richard Simmons, is jumping over everything else you own:

Alternately, the idea may be that they've let Leo be sucked out of the back of a plane, Air Force One style. Not such an endless flight, buddy!

"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 4 August 2014 20:52 (ten years ago) link
Passenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.

Feel like a certain percentage of these are artifacts of a different era of record contracts, where any pop-rock act could get four or five LPs records out of one moderately successful single early on, and then by record four or five it's clear nobody gives a fuck about this has-been, and they'll just slap whatever together. Also drugs were probably involved somehow.

I think of it like a macroscopic elaboration of the Pepper's/MMT -> White Album -> Let It Be/Abbey Road comedown. This journey into the weird zone of pretension-to-unpretentiousness - - - just some shaggy guys who play rock and roll, but there's still a belief that the album cover has to be something, even if it's just like us walking across a street in a kind of distinctively framed shot or something. The rubicon has been crossed and you can't just go back to, y'know, My Girl (Gone Gone Gone) And Ten Other Hits! or Sing Along With Orleans or Still More From Wet Willie, except as a self-aware gesture that such things are the quasi-innocent hucksterism of an earlier era to which no band, no matter how down-to-earth their good-times bar rock might be, can consider returning.

Like basically the whole idea that "the album" is now a "thing" may in fact not really well-suited to the majority of rock bands... but they, the public, and the record companies totally bought into it for whatever other reasons.

I had to look up that JoJO Gunne album and uh
The band's third album Jumpin' the Gunne failed to rise any higher than #169 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. This was partially attributed to a controversial cover of an overweight naked woman jumping over the band who were in a bed as she attempted to reach a baby pig. The gatefold jacket had the same woman with the album credits written on her in black marker as she cavorts with a piglet.

Atomic Rooster are actually pretty good - they went through a number of stylistic shifts over the years as members came and went. There was a good 2CD set called Heavy Soul that gathered pretty much all anybody would ever need.

Death Walks Behind You is a seriously good album in my humble opinion. By far the best line-up of Atomic Rooster as well, for me. There was an Atomic Rooster spin-off band called Hard Stuff too, but I can hardly recommend 'em.

[Starcastle lead singer Terry] Luttrell has said he co-wrote the classic REO song "Golden Country" with Richrath before he left the band in 1972. Richrath is listed as the sole writer of the song, and vehemently denies that Luttrell was a co-writer. The subject matter of Golden Country is actually one of the main issues that led to Luttrell being let go from the band. Luttrell thought that Gary Richrath was writing songs that were too politically motivated, and wanted to focus on less controversial material. One night, the differences between Luttrell and REO Speedwagon came to a head. REO Speedwagon had a gig that was a significant drive from their home in Champaign, Illinois. During the performance, Terry became agitated and refused to continue singing. The band was forced to quit the set and cut the show short. This angered the club owner, and he refused to pay the band for performing. On the drive back, Richrath began an argument with Luttrell over costing the band the performance money. Richrath, and the rest of the band, were extremely upset because the money that they had would be spent on gas getting home, and they would be completely broke. Luttrell became upset and became combative. Richrath ordered that the car be pulled over so he could fight Luttrell. When the car stopped, Luttrell fled into a corn field. Richrath suggested out of anger that they just drive away and leave Luttrell to find his own way home. Surprisingly, no one in the band disagreed, and they drove off leaving him in the field. No one within the band talked to him after that. It was one of the most unique firings of a front man in Rock n' Roll history.

"Prog on the Prairie" - good stuff in there, though there's some tics that bug me (particularly the gendering of the early/good stuff vs. "housewife hits"). I also wonder about continuing to insist on this "prairie" quality - Topeka's not New York, no, but it was more populous in 1970 than, say, contemporary Columbus, and people talked about Times New Viking without pretending it was some big riddle that people west of New York play something other than country-fried boogie ramblings.

Ditto for the cover on the issue of People Magazine that is lying on the floor beneath the TV set. In fact, I'm not sure that Andrew Gold ever appeared on a People Magazine cover.

This is the album with Lonely Boy on it. Produced by Peter Asher. We cut it at night with the same band, studio, engineer that Linda used during the day while cutting her LP Hasten Down The Wind. The cover of this was often commented on as an original idea, which I unfortunately cannot take credit for. The genius behind this was Ethan Russell. There are 32 things wrong with the picture (see TRIVIA PAGE) . However, someone wrote me that the only thing wrong with the picture they could see was that on the back cover my shirt clashed terribly with my jacket. I liked that letter.

The album cover has some innuendo in that it is made to look like a tongue licking an anus. However, when opened completely, it is actually a tongue licking a peach.

Gentle Giant's album concepts improved remarkably when they moved on from peach licking to extremely mundane stuff like "whatever happened to our buddies in school?" and "what if we did a whole album about interviews?" Plus the great Watergate record & the failed relationships record.
x-post --- I was trying and failing to post a pic of Stiller & Meara's comedy album with the title "Laugh When You Want." Are they saying we can play this "comedy album" anytime we want? An adventure like this is unheard of in the 20th century.

Squirt Does Its Thing
http://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4147/5434053121_74bc2aba7c_n.jpg
It took me awhile to figure out what this 1970 album of "semi-soft music" was all about.... it's a promo LP for the Squirt soft drink (that's what the green bottle in her left hand is), mostly Herb Alpert covers but also one original song called "Tequila and Squirt", how appetizing. I was wondering why the corporate suits thought albums like this one would spur sales of a fizzy drink, but apparently the success of Coca-Cola's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" spurred many attempts to replicate its popularity.

Unfortunately:
When Elvis died in 1977, RCA let many acts go, choosing instead to focus on repackaging 'The King'.

However, recent interest in the band has motivated this site, and who knows what else?

BA Robertson's career always seems little incomprehensible but imo it's just that he was a good networker. He seemed to be able to surround himself with super-session men - Herbie Flowers, Davy Graham, the guys from AWB, Billy Livsey, Steve Harley's band and so on. The connection with George Kajanus is that he and Robertson shared the same music publisher, Steve Morris Music. Seems like there is a lot of cross-pollination between a pretty lacklustre roster of artists - Robertson, Kajanus, Stephen Bishop, Yvonne Elliman (who also recorded at Ardent). They recorded each others songs, did a duet or two etc. eg. Robertson did a heinous vocal cover of ABBA's Arrival with Frida on the same album that Stephen Morris wrote a song or two.
It's a little embarrassing that I know even vague details of all this btw.

I did a search before posting and couldn't find it, but it does looks sort of familiar, so maybe? we really need a masterlist of horrible 70s album titles so we can avoid this kind of confusion

Todd Rundgren - The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect
Steppenwolf "For Ladies Only" and "Steppenwolf At Your Birthday Party" are a bit odd. The Euro cover on "For Ladies Only" definitely fits in with some of these on the thread.

Incidentally, now that it's catching on as an expression - - - in what tone do we imagine Wood expressing this sentiment? I've never taken it as indignant (though it works beautifully for that) but rather more of a "wellp, I guess it's my turn, here we go!" Really it should have been a Ringo Starr title, he has the right "oh, good ol' Ringo" quality about him.

more lynch trivia weirdness:
[in 1978] he wrote '"Love Crazy", the theme used for Carry On Emmannuelle, and "You Can't Fight It", the vocal version of the theme to the John Carpenter film Assault on Precinct 13. He also oversaw the production for Hylda Baker and Arthur Mullard's comedy version of You're the One That I Want which reached 22 in the UK charts in September 1978. In the early 1980s, Lynch formed a songwriting partnership with former tennis player Buster Mottram, a long-time white nationalist political activist.

While Mottram was still playing professionally, he became known for his right-wing views. He expressed support for the National Front, supported the policies of Enoch Powell,[1] and applied, unsuccessfully, for the Conservative parliamentary candidacy in several constituencies.[1] He subsequently formed a songwriting partnership with the black entertainer Kenny Lynch writing the song Average Man.[2]In November 2008, he was expelled from the UK Independence Party (UKIP) after attempting to broker an electoral pact with the British National Party. UKIP leader Nigel Farage called Mottram's offer "astonishing", declaring the party to be non-racist.[3]

The Shirts - Inner Sleeve
(there is a hole cut out of the outer sleeve exposing that photo which is printed on the inner sleeve, so you've got that going on as well as the shirts/sleeve wordplay)

Morgan - Brown Out

like 'black out' obviously, but is there another level to this that I'm missing? I can't help but feel there's some appalling joke that is going over my head. is he wearing a butchers apron? is that significant? this is a really good prog album btw
well "brown outs" are also a thing in themselves. but i admit i was hoping it was a reference to a member named Brown who had been kicked out of the band.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 4 October 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
I hadn't heard of 'brown outs'! wikipedia has cleared this up anyway:
Morgan had signed a two-album deal with RCA, and in 1973 embarked on the recording of their second (and ultimately final) album, originally titled "Brown Out." The name of the album was later changed when it became apparent that the band intended to include an insert of the themselves mooning the casual record buyer.[1] Thus "Brown Out" became The Sleeper Wakes.
― soref, Sunday, 4 October 2015 16:59 (nine years ago) link
wiki also notes that the singer went on to make models for the Thomas the Tank Engine TV series

Listening to the single, "The Hat," I may live to regret this vow. I mean, his voice is still a classic, but the chintzy late-70s backing track is pretty lame and I miss his trademark vocal goofery. Deep cut "Hey Would You Hold It Down" is more alarming with the Supertramp keyboards. One is about where a guy got his cool hat ("if I ask it nice / would you tell me twice?") and the other is about a middle-aged Roger wishing the neighbors would keep it down while he's trying to sleep. Sorry for party rockin', Rog!

"That faith was repaid when the next album, You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish, hit the Top 30 in 1978. Who the hell came up with that title?"
KEVIN CRONIN- I’ll take the credit [laughs]. We were at a party in our hometown, Champaign, Illinois. There were all kinds of nefarious activities going on. And when I woke up the next day, somehow that phrase – You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish – was in my mind. No one is sure who uttered the phrase first, but I was the guy that said: “That’s a pretty cool title for the album.” Everybody thought I was crazy. But Joe Walsh had called his record The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get. So the stage was set for wacky album titles.

I went and looked up the album that kicked off the whole thing - I've Got My Own Album To Do - and found the closing track was called Crotch Music. I had a listen and it's not what I expected at all, more like someone put the 70's in a blender, of if Battles collaborated with Edgar Winter.

Incidentally I heard Ronnie Wood was in an old man pub in Kildare with some hangers-on a couple of years ago and someone handed him a guitar and asked for a tune. He started singing and the barman came over and told him there was no singing allowed. "That's Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, you can't tell him to shut up". "I don't care if he's Daniel O'Donnell, he can't sing in here".

I can't believe I JUST got the pun in "Fundamental Roll." Album cover aside, that first Egan album is a wonderful slice of Buddy Holly-influenced pop rock, recommended if you're into Marshall Crenshaw and/or Nick Lowe. (Or Fleetwood Mac.)

And speaking of "and" what the heck was 'Johnny Winter And' all about? That is a different level of band name and also seems to fit here in some ways.
Arthur Baker's Kingdom Come - 'Galactic Zoo Dossier' from '71 is another one that fits here and would have worked nicely as a Budgie album title.

Potliquor - First Taste (cover and half of gatefold)
― mega pegasus for reindeer (Doctor Casino), Monday, 2 January 2017 23:23 (seven years ago) link
This album, btw, features a bogged-down, psychey-bluesy version of Poe's "The Raven," in addition to the somewhat more appealing lead single "Riverboat" (b-side: "Down the River Boogie"). Wiki gives us unique insight into the design choices:
As previously stated, Potliquor and its musical content and style are integrally connected to its Southern U.S. and south Louisiana culture. Potliquor's choice of album art also makes explicit its geographic and cultural foundations.The front cover of the First Taste album is a photograph of the group sitting down (left to right, Guy Schaeffer, George Ratzlaff, Jerry Amoroso, Les Wallace) with a glass jug, like one which would be thought to hold moonshine, being held by Amoroso. On the inside foldout, a large image of a similar jug is displayed with liner notes printed on it. The title, "First Taste", and the moonshine jug implies that this debut album is a first taste of the music of Potliquor, a play on the term "pot liquor" which is not liquor but is actually the broth that is left in the pot after cooking down vegetables. The other inner photo shows the group horse-playing in shallow water of a Louisiana bayou. On the back cover, the group is photographed around a campfire.

I started a spreadsheet one time - half-finished IIRC, similar to my attempt to get down all of the claustrophobic 70s/80s movie posters before the links got broken. With both there was also an idea of getting the dates in there so you could be really precise about the dawn, high point, and decline of the genre. Really important stuff - I should get back to those at some point. Sigh.

Oh, that's good!
Has anyone else had the experience of discovering some no-name 70s band in the cheapie bin and getting excited because they seem like the kind of act that surely would have at least one of these titles, and then suffering a small disappointment when it becomes clear that they don't? Today's downer: Syracuse-based Jukin' Bone, who surely would have gotten around to it had their recording career lasted a little longer.
OTOH, Googling them led me to some of their home-town peers, whose one album is at least a step in the direction of one of these titles:

Honorable mention for The Guess Who, Artificial Paradise (1973), which doesn't have much of its own title to do, but which in its elaborate fake sweepstakes packaging gestures towards a The Who Sell Out kind of deal - but without designs on a Concept audible on the record. Ho ho, see, we're just hacks in it for a quick buck - no art found here, just some blues-rock jams and unconvincing genre exercises!

BTW, speaking of not-quite-titles, I couldn't resist and finally bought that Valdy album Valdy and the Hometown Band which appears from the cover to be an album by Valdy and the Hometown Band entitled Folksinger Deluxe With A Side Of Fries. It's pleasant! Pleasantly inessential even. Very very Lightfoot-esque, or Jimmy Buffett in "Come Monday" mode. If you like those things, this will help you pass forty minutes nicely and the cover is better than anything either of those acts ever came up with.

Has anyone else had the experience of discovering some no-name 70s band in the cheapie bin and getting excited because they seem like the kind of act that surely would have at least one of these titles, and then suffering a small disappointment when it becomes clear that they don't? Today's downer: Syracuse-based Jukin' Bone, who surely would have gotten around to it had their recording career lasted a little longer.OTOH, Googling them led me to some of their home-town peers, whose one album is at least a step in the direction of one of these titles:
I grew up there and remember so much of this garbage - Rochester favorites Duke Jupiter had a couple groaners too:

this is a solo debut from one of the leads of a mega-selling act and looks like Donnie Iris running out his contract.
That was kind of the point, Frey was supposed to be relaunching his career as the one Eagle ready for the 80s (see: The Long Run gatefold), and that's how they thought to present him.
I've mentioned this before, but one of the more interesting tales in Marc Eliot's Eagles book regards the unique problem Asylum faced when launching Henley's solo career: Here they had the voice behind several of the biggest hits of the seventies whose own name and face wasn't that familiar to the listenership because of the way the band didn't court the press in their heyday. Suddenly they were faced with this huge charisma-vacuum of a drummer turned leading man whom they were gonna have to sell to MTV.
They made him take dancing lessons.

And that makes total sense re: Frey and Henley. IMHO Frey looks like a complete lame-o trying to be the clean-cut Man of the Coming Decade (the iron-pumping probably didn't help matters) but I guess it worked out for him, and as a general rule I would have much preferred it if most of these artists continued having their own albums to do, long hair and all, than try to get hip to the sleek new styles.

In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange."[1] He thought that BTO music could be "dropped and kicked" without breaking, so, without intending any commentary about Yes, the band "tongue-in-cheek" called their next album Not Fragile.

I think the Yes album cover actually had a picture of the world breaking, which is true; I mean, the world is a fragile place as far as the ecology and things like that. So it's not us against the band Yes. We just thought that was kind of a strange title, so we thought we'd call ours Not Fragile.
And that's how rock and roll albums get made.

and yeah "But, I'm On The Guest List" is incredible

if poco had released an album with really bad cover art called "one size fits all" would it be on this thread? what about a bread record called "here come the warm jets" or a 10cc record called "never mind the bollocks"?
is it more or less implied that these album covers don't contain discs with "serious" music? or really what i mean is, we kind of pretend that it's lame, indulgent, coked out buffoonery for the sake of making the joke work, this kind of faux-bro rockist lens that we collectively pretend to wear? is that what makes them funny? because they are really funny, the good ones anyway (by which i may also mean bad, i'm not sure).
i kind of feel like this thread might be the equivalent of laughing disparagingly at "the room" and then everybody goes back to watching "dog star man" and "battleship potemkin" in reverent silence.

Naw, I've always found all these aspects interesting! It's sort of like recognizing that "The Beatles" is kind of a godawful band name that would be cited as an example of 60s square doofery if it was the name behind some sub-tier knockoff British Invasion band that peaked at #18 with a passable but uninspired song instructing you on how to dance The Beatle.
It's an overall package - title, art, band's image generally, and the music on the disc of course. A lot of times, these titles are actively trying to shape the artist's image as someone who doesn't make "serious" music, and the album's image as a collection of some songs they thought you might enjoy, nothing more. I mean, the Ronnie Woods one for which the thread is named basically comes out and says "I guess I have to make one of these things."
There's also a range of reactions here I think - like, I dig that Wood record cause I just like the sound and the playing and a couple of the songs have reasonable hooks. So it's more of an affectionate eye-roll at the dopey title - to an extent, I'm in on precisely the joke Wood is trying to make, and to an extent I'm also kinda laughing at him and at myself for thinking this was a reasonable thing to spend one's time doing. But some of the grosser ones, with the sex jokes and the really hacky puns and the really lazy/ugly/sexist/whatever cover art, I'm pretty much just laughing at the artist and the label derisively, in a way that maybe risks me ending up snobbishly missing out on some great music that I would perhaps like. I feel pretty confident that Jo Jo Gunne have nothing to offer me though, they seem like real shitheads.

Doctor, you never encountered "Run Run Run" in your thread of listening to classic rock for the first time? (Although I don't know if it still gets played on classic rock radio, maybe it's forgotten.) It's not a bad little slide-guitar rocker, and it's less than three minutes long so it won't take up too much of your time.

Jo Jo Gunne would have a better rep if they called it quits after their first album, which had good music and inoffensive cover art. Instead they went on to make forgettable music with really bad album covers. I just learned that Jumpin' the Gunne, the one with an obese naked woman jumping over the band lying in bed attempting to reach a baby pig, has an inner gatefold with, as wiki puts it, 'the same woman with the album credits written on her in black marker as she cavorts with a piglet'.

― nickn, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 16:20 (seven years ago) link
come on, if you think that none of these bands wanted to be perceived as artists who made good music, that's just goofy. i agree with dr. casino's post that a lot of these titles / covers were meant to convey "hey, this isn't serious music! any old joe can get down and boogie with us." but surely part of the fun is that a lot of these titles were intended precisely to be "artistic statements," and the degree to which they fall short is in large part a gauge of how funny and silly they seem now. clapton's "there's one in every crowd" comes to mind. and like, if you were to ask lowell george (which you can't) about "thanks i'll eat it here," i seriously doubt he'd say "yeah, that was some dumb shit i did in the '70s because music is about having fun, not about art."
also, wiki description of cover art:
The album was released just before the death of Lowell George in 1979 and has cover art by Neon Park (a feature of almost all Little Feat albums) containing several pop-/cult references including a picnic scene, mirroring Édouard Manet's "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe", which shows Bob Dylan, Fidel Castro and Marlene Dietrich as Der Blaue Engel with an open copy of Howl beside them.
i mean, references to manet, dylan, castro, and fucking josef von sternberg don't exactly scream "i have no pretentions! this is just good time music you guys"

It's true that ''we're just a bunch of happy rocking layabouts'' isn't the ONLY thing these covers/titles convey. But still, let's not go too far ascribing sophistication to them - where literary/artistic references appear I think they're mostly on the order of high-school or freshman-year references picked up here not by drunken good ole boys but by stoned guitar nerds. They're closer to ''hey woah this concept/painting/book is cool, man'' than ''I've painstakingly constructed a concept album around this.'' Not that I want to hear the concept album - just sayiing that the deployment of Manet on a cover can be as tossed-off and dopey as the visual depiction of a limp pun.
― long dark poptart of the rodeo (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I think if that Lowell George cover is saying anything, it's saying he knows about all that arty-political stuff but he's not joining that picnic.
― Tim, Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:04 (seven years ago) link
dr. casino, i think you're more or less saying what i'm saying. i'm not ascribing sophistication to the lowell george record; i'm asserting that he used certain signifiers in an attempt to appear sophisticated. and yeah, it totally comes across as freshman-year malcolm X dorm room poster, but i don't think that diminishes the sincerity one bit. as i said, it's precisely the way in which those "deployments" (as you say) fall flat that make the cover an object of derision rather than something that might have held up a bit better.
and i think that, to the extent that "thanks" was a kind of "get back" record, it's not outrageous to assume that his "roots" (at least as he saw them; self-delusion may be a factor here) were just as much artsy lit and high-minded political engagement (however half-assed) as they were blues- and folk-inflected rock N roll. i really suspect that "thanks i'll eat it here" reads more like "sorry guys, i need to chill in the forest with bob dylan and allen ginsberg and get away from LA and all the coke and just be myself"
it kind of gets into a broader topic, that i don't really want to get super into, about intelligent musicians (john lennon is the case par excellence) who aren't educated but at some point in their careers feel the need to legitimize what they're doing by name dropping, espousing some sort of radical politics, but really missing the mark in embarrassing ways.
to paraphrase oscar wilde, "all bad poetry is sincere"
― budo jeru, Thursday, 13 April 2017 18:48 (seven years ago) link
I agree that we're not disagreeing on most of that. I just still think it's a dumb, dopey, laugh-worthy cover and not really very interesting, but I'm not hating on Lowell George (or your appreciation for it for that matter).

The helots (/ˈhɛləts, ˈhiːləts/; Ancient Greek: εἵλωτες, heílotes) were a subjugated population group that formed the main population of Laconia and Messenia, the territory controlled by Sparta. Their exact status was already disputed in antiquity: according to Critias, they were "slaves to the utmost",[1] whereas according to Pollux, they occupied a status "between free men and slaves".[2] Tied to the land, they primarily worked in agriculture as a majority and economically supported the Spartan citizens.

Reading up on Stanky Brown, they were on Sire same time as the Ramones but to me they look like a band that would have played similar circuit to something like Southside Johnny. I'm going to have to go to Youtube and see what they actually sound like.

A sampling of the career of Charlie Musselwhite may be of interest here also - - - no classics of the form as such, and from what I can gather he may actually be an important or at least rather well-liked blues musician. Nonetheless he carried the torch for genially lame titles across several decades, and if Wiki is to be trusted, at least fourteen record labels.

Checking it out, Stanky Brown's 'Coal Town' did have a bit of Southside Johnny in the sound with the overdubbed horns. Their records are really honed down and got that 70s soft dullness in the production trough and through. You can see the producer or label saying "can you make it softer sounding". I bet they were much better live.
I got to go check out Eddie Drennon and Wireless now to see what they sound like.

None of those Groundhog albums belong here. Crosscut Saw would, but only for the cover. "Hogging the Stage" has the title but is excused for a cool cover and, like "Hogs on the Road" being way too late.

Confused that there was no artist listed on the spine, I realized is was a label sampler from Warners. Looking it up on Discogs, the whole Warners Lost Leaders series from 1969 to 1980 has a pulse on album naming through the decade. The Big Ball from 1970, with Tull and Family and a whole bunch of GTOs captures the nudge-wink bluster. Troublemakers with Gang of Four and PiL and Devo captures 1980 right down the the hazard stripes on the cover. Supergroup in 1976, Collectus Interruptus in 78, before the dinosaurs are truly under siege from New Wave.

The cover features the still-hairy prototypical hippy freak Clint generously holding out a giant fake-looking orange. The title of the album came from what Clint said to a visitor who fled after being attacked by buzzards whose nest site he’d unwittingly approached, the point being that you’re supposed to stand your ground and the buzzards will hold back.

This isn't really a horrible album title I just like the idea of a guy in a leather jacket living in a cave somewhere with his guitar and amps and spare set of sneakers with a calendar on the wall to tell him when he must next descend the mountain to bring rock and roll to the distrustful villagers, also Malcolm Tomlinson is such an un-rock 'n' roll name.

Came across this one today. I think it's a pretty good cover but it seems like it still should be here. I think the cig is the cool detail and considering Porter was known for his glam style, a good twist. I'd figure it was Porter's take on Hank Sr.'s Luke the Drifter records.

Always happy to see that classic, though I think Porter’s album covers might be a whole other thread. This particular LP doesn’t have much to do with the preachifying Luke the Drifter iirc, though it’s a while since I’ve listened to either.

Produced in 1983, the Cluster of Nuts LP "Fridge in the fast lane" was released at the height of the 'new wave' of English Country dance music. The 'Nuts' were one of the batch of exciting new bands that had finally thrown off the shackles of "Steeleye" and "Fairport" to produce an exciting new sound."... folk music bubbling with ideas and enthusiasm ..." - Southern Rag" Worth a spin on anyone's deck" - Hartlepool Mail

I just noticed that the syrup on that Head East cover looks kind of like Texas (panhandle toward the viewer). I wonder if that was intentional.

From 1978, the amusing named Trumpetmachine with the painfully titled, "For Flying Out Proud".

Huh, had not heard of Trumpetmachine before. Woody Shaw, Kenny Wheeler and Jon Faddis. Sounds like it might have been a less successful coattail rider of the Supersax concept?
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Monday, 29 January 2018 02:53 (six years ago) link
No doubt. I find Faddis tedious for various reasons I won't elaborate on right this second.
I have seen the son of Mike Zwerin, who was on Birth of The Cool, I think, play bass a few times. Seems like a pretty nice guy. He is unusual in a jazz context in that, not only does he play electric bass, but he plays it slung real low, a la Paul Simonon or Kris(t) Novoselic, say.

Definitely one of the most boring sub-categories of this type of album cover is anything that directly references the fact that you are playing an instrument. It's like "there is absolutely nothing transcendent about this record, it's just a demonstration of me playing"
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 15:22 (six years ago) link
they get even sadder with distance. i'm assuming that at some point arlen roth had some kind of reputation, maybe praised amongst guitar folk, written about in magazines, so an album that's just "hey here he is playing guitar" might be like "shit yeaaaah I gotta get that." those days are now long gone, i fear.

It Ain't Easy is the fourth album by American rock band Three Dog Night, released in 1970. According to lead singer Chuck Negron's book Three Dog Nightmare, the album's working title was The Wizards of Orange, with a cover featuring the band's members wearing orange make-up and posing in the nude. The band's record company, ABC/Dunhill, rejected the original album title and cover art, although some configurations of their first "greatest hits" album, 1971's Golden Bisquits, would later be packaged using It Ain't Easy's original cover photo.

Moreover!
Golden Bisquits is the sixth album (fifth studio album) by American rock band Three Dog Night, released in 1971. (...) According to Chuck Negron's autobiography Three Dog Nightmare, the band originally suggested the title Dog Style for the album. ABC/Dunhill Records rejected this as too risqué, but liked the idea of a "dog"-themed title for the album, and proposed the title Golden Bisquits instead.

Hard Labor is the eleventh album by American rock band Three Dog Night, released in 1974. The original album cover, depicting the birth of a record album (shown at right), was deemed too controversial and was soon reworked with a huge bandage covering the "birth". The cover also includes an attached "birth record sheet" of the album. The label shown on the original cover's album is the same custom label used on the actual album. The CD reissue by MCA Records in the 1990s restored the cover to its original look showing the record. Albums that had already been produced had a bandage attached to them. Subsequent albums had the bandage printed on.
I had no idea these guys had so many albums to do!

there's no literal depiction tho, like if he was in line at a waiting window or something it would show the bit of effort a lot of these have. it's no effort and too self aware. the best of these are entirely clueless and full steam ahead, like that Hard Labor cover, good grief.

i like how the face-inside-profile photo gimmick answers the question. shep, at least, is inside his head, and has not gone bald (though he might be combing it down in front a bit).

"Killing Me Softly With His Song"Peter Afendoulis
I know that song was written for Don McLean, but it should have been written for Harry Chapin. I was "introduced" to Harry’s music when I was a wannabe Folk Singer in the late Seventies. I was having a bit of success, having written a few songs that proved to be popular, but I was always looking for new songs to sing. A friend loaned me a copy of "Greatest Stories Live" and that was it! He was telling me my life story - and it changed my whole outlook on life.
Because I was traveling around a lot and in the wrong place at the wrong time, I never got to see him live until Newcastle City Hall (The last (mainland UK gig) on his 1980 Tour. He and the Band did 45 minute first set, after which Harry spent another 45 minutes in the Foyer signing programmes (He signed mine!), T-shirts, albums and stuff, and then a 90 minute second spot (of which Harry did about 30 minutes solo).

The song "Last Mango in Paris" literally ends with him reading the words of the chorus off a bathroom wall.
Seems like he was trying to write a Warren Zevon song or something:
I had a third world girl in BuziosWith a pistol in each handShe always kept me coveredAs we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall StreetWith my high fashion model wifeI woke up dry beneath the African skyJust me and my Swiss Army knife

Also found on some were humorous, bizarre interstitial audio material—clips from old records and movies, short skits, found sound, etc.--and most albums featured clever, humorous cover art and liner notes. Most of the 1970s albums were compiled and annotated by Barry Hansen, better known as Dr. Demento.

This is from Joshua Gamson’s Sylvester biography. Fwiw, he places it in the context of the growing acrimony between Sylvester and his band:
“Sylvester does not appear on the back of the Bazaar album cover. Instead, there are pictures of the band members, and beneath them their own cryptic inside joke: “Why is the Hot Band smiling? Because they have S.O.M.F.” (“S.O.M.F.” was Hot Band code for Sit on my Face.) On the front is a photo of Sylvester, with long flowing hair, turquoise Indian jewelry, and light makeup. He is not smiling.”
(I tried and failed to upload a photo of the book page with the quote)

what's interesting is how the same types of titles conveyed a subtly different message in the age of irony, ennui goth teens, and 2-3 years between albums-as-calling-cards, versus just cranking out another couple sides of blues rock whatever to sell on the tour.

Yeah its funny to compare the way the they read btw the two eras. In the 90s it was meant to convey this knowing wink at consumerism & let you know that they saw through the whole showbiz game & were savvy postmodernists. Whereas the aw-shucks 70s titles had this endearing humility thing like "Yeah I'm dumb & this album kind of sucks, what do you want from me, take it or leave it"

Googled it to read the cover writing for more clues (which is not part of the LP design) and found this.
https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2017/03/14/john-scoggins-pressed-for-time/
"The existence of the ‘tax scam’ LP is one of the stranger tales of the 1970s record business. In short, crooked label heads would press up demos of unsigned artists, outtakes from known artists, and other various ephemera in limited quantities that were thrown out into the market with zero promotion — all based on the hopes of commercial failure and the ability for the ‘label’ to write off the failure as a loss.
John Scoggins’ Pressed For Time is one such record..."

They are; his productions on others are just as good IMO, but don't tend to have such thread-worthy titles.

I haven't heard that one but the cover art is awesome. kinda curious about the slew of mostly self-released '80s-'00s Swamp Dogg albums that virtually nobody has heard. I kept seeing the same used copy of Surfin' in Harlem at my local record store for about 5 years but never had a strong enough impulse to buy it

i haven't heard the vast majority of swamp dogg's work but for whatever reason "love, loss, and auto-tune" did cross my radar, possibly due to someone saying "no look this is fantastic", and whoever said that is right! he's got a duet with his auto-tuned self, he closes with an auto-tuned take on "stardust", he just has this knack for bringing out the best in anything he works with
swamp dogg should have a bigger cult than he does, the man is a national treasure. does he even have a dedicated thread here?

I had a dream months ago about making an album cover called "The Quiet Life", where I'm sitting in a large chair holding a martini in an exaggerately relaxed pose sort of giving a "cheers" to the camera, while behind me a circus is passing by with elephants, jugglers, people crashing enormous cymbals etc. I blame this thread seeping into my subconscious!

On the fadeout of Partytown he says "Can you say monster?" which I'm guessing may stem from Joe Walsh's term "monstering" (hoovering up large amounts of coke) detailed in Kristin Casey's book Rock Monster.

Henley and Frey emerge from the control room a little before midnight (six hours early by their standards) and announce it is monster time. To monster, in Eaglese, is to ingest mind-altering substances and behave like a beast. The Eagles measure monsterdom in quarters, as in, “I was only three-quarters monstered last night.” A combination of bass-drum thumps and long-neck Budweisers (short-necks don’t make it) have already pushed Henley and Frey to the half-monster mark.

Man, that's some atrocious cover design too, to the point that I almost like it. Horrible colors, weird graphic repetition, combination of two different ugly typefaces (fucking shadow on them too!) and the thing with "tra-la" being made to look like music notes -- actually I guess that's three typefaces.

The two moved in together while Guynes was still 16, and married a few months later in February, after Moore's divorce from Lucy was finalized and Guynes was 17

Only 500 people ever bought the Hot Poop record, but . . . OK, 200 people, but you know . . . Ah, who am I trying to kid, only 35 of these were sold, all to their friends/family, and they didn't go on to do anything of note.

The album cover was my concept. I'm surprised that more people don't get the front cover. It seems rather simple. Hot poop, poop also meaning crap. So Larry's taking a crap, it's being carried over to the others by Jim, Lisa is heating it up (cooking it) in a spoon, I'm shooting it up (doing it) and Bruce is passed out. Hot Poop, doing their own stuff (shit). The photograph was taken in an empty building in Isla Vista. The building actually had no front on it but the photographer drew in the front window shadow to give the allusion that it was a complete building with four sides. The back cover concept I came up with in it's entirety. I wanted us standing in a field of donkeys (I get donkeys and mules mixed up. I said a field of donkeys but I meant a field of mules) with two pictures, one clothed and the other with switched genitalia. In one more amazing Hot Poop moment I stumbled on a field of donkeys/mules almost the second I came up with the idea. We got the photographer and drove out there. The mules were nice enough to crowd around us for the pictures. As we were wrapping it up a helicopter started flying over as I think the land belonged to Union Oil.

Review on RYM:
Hot Poop Does Their Own Stuff. Why? 'Cause nobody else would dare! This private pressing is so brain numbingly strange that it's almost impossible not to like it! Frenzied falsetto vocals, omnipresent fuzz, and deranged subject matter (with such songs as "Wing Wang", "Screamin'", "I Always Play With My Food", and the eerie "My Baby's Dead") make for an album that cannot be comprehended by a sober mind! This is what happens when hippies forsake LSD for nitrous oxide!

Awesome how he pushed aside his blues name to go for the big pun on the album title. Plus 1 for looking like he's doing the Clinton thumb-fist gesture there in 1994.

The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated, "Dave Liebman plunges headlong into funk in the wake of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters, but his heart doesn't seem to be in it. At times, he sounds bored playing R&B riffs that he seemed to have outgrown at the time, lapsing into free jazz flurries in an effort to stay interested, and the rhythm section is leaden."[4]
When your heart's not in the funk, you get lead.

Ok I figured out why I was confused. I actually tried Spotify’s sample feature (right next to the plus song/add to my library feature) which I’d never used before and … it chooses the title track’s wah-wah freak out section one minute in which appears to be the one bit of that album that isn’t really country pickin’.

Just found this:
YUI Orta was probably one of the first albums with a title that was a play on words, like Van Halen’s OU812. Whose clever idea was that?Mick kept on saying that to Carola, the girl he was with at the time. And we had no title for that record whatsoever, so I just said, “Well, we’ll call it that then.” But no one could figure it out. I realized then that we’d done the wrong thing, but it was too late. I wouldn’t have minded, but I’d never heard [of the expression] either. He just kept on doing it with this girl he was with, “Why You I Orta.” I said, “What’s that?” He said, “It’s the Three Stooges.” Some albums just don’t have titles, and it becomes a major problem at the last minute. I guess that’s why that got stuck on there.

i feel like the three stooges weren't the only people to use that but maybe they did invent it. they said it a lot anyway. feels like every gangster in every 40s comedy said it. along with "saaaay, what's the gag?" when someone attempted some sort of trickery. anyway i probably first heard it during a looney tunes cartoon.

is that how they pronounce "oughta" where mick ronson was from? "orta". he was from Hull. i just looked it up. because that's the other thing that makes it even more confusing.
actually there are totally people here who would do that too. the people who pronounce "water" as "worter".
