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

reminds me of this book cover

sadly, afaik Denny Laine never attempted a horrible 70s album title punning on that book.

Potliquor - First Taste (cover and half of gatefold)

This album, btw, features a bogged-down, psychey-bluesy version of Poe's "The Raven," in addition to the somewhat more appealing lead single "Riverboat" (b-side: "Down the River Boogie"). Wiki gives us unique insight into the design choices:

As previously stated, Potliquor and its musical content and style are integrally connected to its Southern U.S. and south Louisiana culture. Potliquor's choice of album art also makes explicit its geographic and cultural foundations.

The front cover of the First Taste album is a photograph of the group sitting down (left to right, Guy Schaeffer, George Ratzlaff, Jerry Amoroso, Les Wallace) with a glass jug, like one which would be thought to hold moonshine, being held by Amoroso. On the inside foldout, a large image of a similar jug is displayed with liner notes printed on it. The title, "First Taste", and the moonshine jug implies that this debut album is a first taste of the music of Potliquor, a play on the term "pot liquor" which is not liquor but is actually the broth that is left in the pot after cooking down vegetables. The other inner photo shows the group horse-playing in shallow water of a Louisiana bayou. On the back cover, the group is photographed around a campfire.

Sugarloaf - Don't Call Us --- We'll Call You (1975)

See, because they'll never actually call, get it?

How cheap is it to get a Magritte album cover? xxp

Some really good finds lately, y'all.

"One Fing'n'Anuvver" is really bothering me.

That Duke Williams cover also has a bit of a Master P look.

the ozark mountain daredevils - nuclear fishin'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51gW4vlp2VL.jpg

I keep thinking this thread will die out but no...

lollll nuclear fishin'

and it's the title of their greatest hits comp!

That is a pretty strange one. Didn't know much about the band, but they also had this one, which is pretty weird too. They must be some stoner fishermen when not bringing the country rawk jams.

I think this thread is definitely proof that the record industry in the 70s ran on some serious drugs, apparently just as much in the art department as A&R.

The Car Over The Lake Album has definitely been the subject of extensive admiration in this thread before, but I am never, ever, not happy to see it.
