I love that track, it's on https://worthopedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumbnails/360/1211/10/360_e337fa510a1cd5eeb2151df676466eb3.jpg along with Kraftwerk's "Ruckzeug", a bit of comedy basically.

...and The Wheel. They also had albums called both Collision Course and Comin' Right At Ya, and would in later decades release Western Standard Time, The Wheel Keeps on Rollin', Merry Texas Christmas, Y'All (and belated followup Santa Loves to Boogie), Ride With Bob, Remembers the Alamo, Willie and the Wheel (with Willie Nelson), and, I swear to God, Reinventing the Wheel.
The Christmas albums also remind me that I learned today that Donnie "Ah! Leah" Iris would, in 2010, release his first Christmas album, Ah! Leluiah!

Which apparently two of my cousins (both teens at the time) attended the recording concerts for (free admission announced over the radio). I think it was there that they discovered one of the members of the band lived across the street from them.

"Initial Success" might be the most 1980 cover I've ever seen in my life. The lighting, the font, everything. Guy could have easily stepped in as a fill-in for the mannequin on Today's Special, or Slim Goodbody for that matter.

There's definitely a "long 70s" that could be marked out precisely by the sensibility that informs these album covers.
