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.

Junie Morrison - Bread Alone

Got to admit, haven't heard it yet, but being Junie, I'd bet it is a good listen.

Swamp Dogg - I Called For A Rope And They Threw Me A Rock

that junie cover is fantastic.

Better than the music, sadly

pretty sure there's also a guru guru lp with the don't call us, we'll call you line for a title

with this lovely cover:

Some of these cover pics really seem like someone yelled "hey" to the artist then snapped the picture

"Shouldn't we do another one?"

"Nah we got it Skip you look great"

lol i just noticed silk purse was a record store day special re-release! had to get in line by midnight to scoop that one up

Ian Matthews - Some Days You Eat The Bear...

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.

At this point, it would be a pretty good sized shelf of LPs.

...or a bitchen Tashen coffee table book.

Are those Ozark Mountain Daredevils titles puns?

i just can't believe this thread keeps giving.

Are those Ozark Mountain Daredevils titles puns?

Well Nuclear Fishin' (FISSION) clearly is, but the other one...?

Jim Price Kids

Maybe Ted Taylor's "Keepin' My Head Above Water" has just enough of a jobbing musician vibe to make it (plus one of my all-time favourite covers):

Thread is clearly way too big to check whether something you've found has already been mentioned, so if someone who isn't me wants to list them all feel free, thx

I started a spreadsheet one time - half-finished IIRC, similar to my attempt to get down all of the claustrophobic 70s/80s movie posters before the links got broken. With both there was also an idea of getting the dates in there so you could be really precise about the dawn, high point, and decline of the genre. Really important stuff - I should get back to those at some point. Sigh.

No picture but...

Ian Hunter - All Of The Good Ones Are Taken

^ definitely getting a bit meta there

Last page in the Taschen book IIRC

A case in point, this must surely have been posted before,

Bobby Shew, "Outstanding In His Field"
