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

https://i.ibb.co/crkWFQF/20230225-143324.jpg

The Tremblers were Peter Noone's band after Herman's Hermits

Keyboard player Gregg Inhofer was previously in a Minnesota band called Pepper Fog. Looking at their promo photo I can scarcely believe they actually existed and weren't just some Hollywood producer's idea of what a psych band should look like...

Is that "Green Shirt" the Elvis Costello "Green Shirt"? I guess Peter was still in his early 30s then, so fair play to him.

it is indeed the elvis costello song!

Herman was a Hip Dude

who knew that he guested on a single on Sympathy For The Record Industry in 1996!?

The Stool Pigeons & Peter Noone- Take Love, Give Love

This is less for the title (bad as it is) and more for the whole ~vibe~, title, picture and all.

Al Hirt & Ann-Margret - Beauty & The Beard

(shout-out to Ned for putting me down the rabbit hole of looking at Ann-Margret albums in the first place)

Jake Shears' Last Man Dancing has big Horrible 70s album title energy, imo.

Phillip Goodhand-Tait - Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

I don't really know who PGT is, but I seem to see his records all the time. Was in the early prog band Circus with Mel Collins though

I've posted that a few times just because I love the cover so much.

ah I did search, though maybe not very well

from 1968 michael lessac's sleep faster, we need the pillow

that's great, especially because it REALLY sounds like the title to an album of stand-up comedy, which this apparently is not.

roy clark & buck trent – a pair of fives (banjos, that is)

amazing

something endearingly awkward about that parenthesis. anyway, looks like buck had a bit of previous:

is/was "five" a common slang for banjo, or just for Buck?

not as far as i know! just a play on its being a five string i'd say.

Buck and Luniz ....

please just no

Ronni Le Tekro - Mein Ampf

Founding member of Norwegian power metallers TNT, who probably qualify for the thread themselves with "Realized Fantasies". Can someone enlighten me as to what the hell is going on here?

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Pb-KIfp4L._UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg

eww! what's the picture on the lunchbox?

I can't make out the lunchbox. The overall vibe reminds me of Art Frahm, low-rent pinup artist of models with gravity defying dresses.

That's a pretty common mishap on the bus, actually.

And gravity embracing panties.

And celery. Always celery.

80s but very definitely a 70s band.

Ugh

I kind of like that one.

Speed Limit - First Offence (The Start Of A Long Record)

brummie hard rock from 1978 btw. they never made another album

The Pirates - From Calypso To Colapso

those are good!

Great titles, not so sure about the barnets

Not 70s and not an album but The (English) Beat and The (Paul Collins) Beat's joint 2012 tour "Two Beats Hearting as One" should be mentioned
