Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do

www.andrewgold.com lets you "play" the album cover as a clicking game. Post your score to Facebook! Fair warning, it also auto-plays "Thank You For Being A Friend" in the background.

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.

Aw, jeez. That's an xpost to myself above, sorry.

Good lord, I never realized "Whale Meat" was a pun, I just thought it was a stupid album title.

Ugh, just remembered Andrew Gold died super recently

http://eil.com/images/main/John-Dawson-Read-Read-On-418263.jpg

that was his last album for 29 years before he returned in 2005 with this:

'Read On' was his second album btw, hence Vol II on the side of the book

Um...idg whale meat

whale meat again?

Oh, I've just looked it up and realised that's what the album is actually called. but it's a pun on 'we'll meet again' isn't it? do ppl know that song in the US?

The Byrds covered it on their first album.

I was wondering if it's best known through Dr Strangelove over there?

That's where the Byrds heard it

"Whale meat again" is the punch line of an ancient joke

Xp Or maybe it was just its use in Dr Strangelove that inspired them to close the album with it.

^^In the liner notes to the album there's a dedication to Kubrick, so yeah.

Steppenwolf "At Your Birthday Party." 1969, and making it in here solely on the strength of the quotation marks.

Man that band always looks like the biggest bunch of thugs

The song wasn't called "Born To Be Mild" (which would have been a great Rupert Holmes title born to this thread).

Nantucket - Your Face Or Mine?

u_u

surely they have a limerick-inspired album?

Excellent.

... produced by Cliff Richard!

Pushed... Off a Cliff!

i think that one tipped the scale for me, I really do want to buy every record in the thread and wallpaper a building with them.

I've got my own building to build

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

"Special thanks from the band to Cliff Richard"

Great lineup of titles there too. "We Sure Do," "Not Afraid to Rock 'n' Roll"...

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).

Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

I came across this one yesterday and thought of this thread.

Yeah this seems rubbish when the Chameleons do it imo

better the 70s stalwart.

that wasn't the chameleons first offence either...

I have consciously avoided ever hearing that band because of their album titles.

I'm more likely to listen to a Cardiacs album tbh.

None of these seem egregiously of this thread, but given how superfluous a Phil Everly solo career already seems to me, they're kinda tickling me.

These are terrible enough to rate inclusion. I certainly almost choked on my lunch.

that last everly one

O_O

has this one made it on here yet?
