I used to own that Stray Dog album, I remember not a thing about it. I think the guitarist went on to do the theme music for Thirtysomething.

pub rock seems like the native genre for this type of album title

Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 23 September 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link

Aw, Landscape. I really like "Norman Bates." Back cover really looks like a 90s hack job.

now that you mention it perhaps that's not the most unusual feature of this guitar

Geordie also had 'Don't Be Fooled by the Name'

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)

(The Shirts were such a great band, there should be more Shirts discussion on ilm imo)

It's kind of funny to interpret this as "strung in reverse." It's not like strings have a nut end and a tuner end.

just noticed it's produced by joe boyd, so that explains the presence of john cale and richard thompson

They're doing a public service. You see anyone depicted on the cover of this album, run the opposite direction and you have a good chance to avoid contracting any uncomfortable diseases.

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

soref, Sunday, 4 October 2015 16:50 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight 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 (eight years ago) link

wiki also notes that the singer went on to make models for the Thomas the Tank Engine TV series

soref, Sunday, 4 October 2015 17:01 (eight years ago) link

oh man original "brown out" cover concept is clearly one of the lost horrible masterpieces of this genre

Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 4 October 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link

clearly an homage to this steez:
