So many aspects of 60s titles carry the seeds of the thread genre - the jazz albums punning on the artists' name thread really opens out that territory. It's really hard to articulate what feels different about the lame and terrible jokes or proclamations of casual-ness from the later period. Maybe the sense that the artist came up with the title themselves and feel it represents their DGAF Good-Times Young Dude Swag, versus the studio titles cooked up by the advertising boys down the hall.

looking at the "horrible" thread i now see that you and i had an exchange that sort of touched on what you're getting at in that post. perhaps these questions will never be resolved.

An easy mistake to make.

That's actually a nice cover.

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 1 March 2018 14:57 (seven years ago)

Agreed, but also very literal.

Maybe not peak Blue Note graphic design.

Mungolian Jerryset (bendy), Thursday, 22 March 2018 13:48 (seven years ago)

Is the product placement on Bigger Than Both Of Us significant or something? Seems to be consciously conspicuous in a way that doesn't seem accidental. but Ritz crackers as a lifestyle choice?

Stevolende, Monday, 2 April 2018 22:08 (seven years ago)

Yeah that's weird, can't recall seeing anything like that on an LP cover (except "The Who Sell Out").

absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Monday, 2 April 2018 22:16 (seven years ago)

are those ritz crackers on the war babies cover? maybe they just like Ritz

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Monday, 2 April 2018 22:42 (seven years ago)

A Millennial band should do an album called "Cola War Babies," with a cover depicting (similarly arranged) 1980s ephemera...

(With ideas like this, it's amazing I need to work for a living!)

I'm sure a whole 'On My Mind' subthread is possible.
