Free Beer - Nouveau Chapeau (1977)
Unfortunately:
When Elvis died in 1977, RCA let many acts go, choosing instead to focus on repackaging 'The King'. The members of 'FREE BEER' decided to pack it in but have remained friends and in touch and continue to pursue performing and songwriting careers. However, recent interest in the band has motivated this site, and who knows what else?

seriously though that self-titled cover is fucking amazing, can't believe that's not canon "best album covers of the 70s"

Speculating that there must be an album out there with a airbrush painting of lumberjacks felling a tree, perhaps with musical instruments as their axes, hollering the title, "TIMBRE!"

Psych bands should arguably be excluded from the thread as I think the intention of the cornball titles was meaningfully different - but still:

dunno why but i have this feeling Stuff are probably better than most of the bands in this thread, can anyone confirm?
(to wit, have been listening to and enjoying Lighthouse's One Fine Morning, the dollar purchase of which prompted the above posts. it's not bad if you're in the mood for some very optimistic and kinda corny/borderline bubblegum sentiment from your psych-ish rock bands. title track is solid, and there's a great dumb melodramatic number about families on the california gold rush.)
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 25 May 2015 17:21 (eight years ago) link
Kinda liking the Stuff It! cover - the frazzled hair, the way her white shorts make her top half look disembodied, the fact that "Stuff" in concentric circles is apparently their logo.

Adding the exclamation point to Boys Will Be Boys! just makes it so much worse, for some reason.

Is there supposed to be some kind of a pun here, based on the adjective and noun meaning of "potty"? Shouldn't the guy be sitting on a potty then?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:31 (eight years ago) link
I thought "potty" meant "quirky" in English-as-spoken-in-England.
