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

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.

Morgan - Brown Out

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

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.

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.

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

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

clearly an homage to this steez:

B.B. Blunder - Workers' Playtime

I like that one

Can anyone confirm if Rocky Yagbag is indeed an Irish sex thriller?

i sadly note another opportunity just been wasted for tortoise to call their album 'songs the lord tortoise'

Must be the only time a camera ever caught Julie Driscoll smiling.

"In my experience, this is because jazz artists tend not to give a rat's ass about anything other than the music itself -- song titles, cover art, etc. It's almost an entirely different motivation."

Sadly a bunch of them were more like "give me that money MF'er so I can go cop some horse".

This thread has gone on so long around the holidays we need to poll it and pick the all time winner.

"give me that money MF'er so I can go cop some horse"

Really should be the title of a Charlie Parker bootleg...

Just got an email about an album called Ladies and Gentlemen...Nigel Hall - the debut album by a dude of that name - and was immediately disappointed by the headshot cover art, because I just knew that if it was the 70s, the label art director would have found some town somewhere with a building named Nigel Hall and made this guy stand stone-faced in the street in front of it for the album cover.

Two from Allan Clarke:

Two also from David Bromberg, "You Should See the Rest of the Band" is actually from 1980 but deserves to be highlighted because it's called "You Should See the Rest of the Band"...

coulda been worse

the musical note icebergs in the background really finish that cover off nicely

A+

^^^^^^^

That shit's truly in the spirit of the thread right there.

coulda been worse

I cannot stop laughing.

Is it possible this one never made it into the thread?

I guess it's from '81, if you're willing to allow a little leeway for the sake of awfulness.

we always have. man that's a good one. also lol at his band being "The New Monks."

Lorraine Frisaura, "Be Happy For Me"

https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2879/12389378613_c928cb43e3.jpg

I'm happy for you, Lorraine, you got to make your album and yet I am sad that I have still not heard from Paul Bogush Jr. again, even on 8-track:

http://www.8-track-shack.com/images/20150817171213-Untitled-30.jpg

Everybody In America Should Sing would have made the cut as well, I reckon.

Would've been perfect if "Expect To Hear From Me Again" was stretched across Tracks 3 and 4.

Anyone remember what happened to Bogush after the tragic accident that robbed him of his voice?
