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

The art isn't trying to match the title in a super-literal way, but this is "You Should See The Rest Of The Band" by David Bromberg.

Sometimes I scroll through my head and smdh at how many pointless records have been made.

Stone the Crows, "Ontinuous Performance"

lol'ing at "The Hexorcist - a devil of an album"

"Shittin' Em Out" featuring a vinyl record emerging from the artist's rear.

I had to look up that JoJO Gunne album and uh

The band's third album Jumpin' the Gunne failed to rise any higher than #169 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. This was partially attributed to a controversial cover of an overweight naked woman jumping over the band who were in a bed as she attempted to reach a baby pig. The gatefold jacket had the same woman with the album credits written on her in black marker as she cavorts with a piglet.

that bunny sigler is awwwwwesome,

and yeah, jojo gunne seem pretty fuckin gross, ha ha the woman is fat!!

alternate Spanish cover, hints at just how many great titles would reveal unseen wretchedness on one of these covers

gross!

Do foreign pressings often get alternate cover art? I'm just wondering what In Through the Out Door might look like

here's an early 90s version of who cares artwork

nice 49ers hat

trying to imagine the chat during which Grant was told, "You'll sell more records in California if you wear this thing..."

yeah he looks like he's literally wearing a baseball hat for the first time in his life

it's an ok album, but man what a crazy cover to choose when you're kicking off your solo career. hello world!

Tucky Buzzard, "Warm Slash"

(Not sure 'slash' has the same connotations in the US, but the tasteful urine coloured writing should give you a clue).

haha that's awful

why didn't they just call it 'hot piss'?

Don't ask me to explain what the title means, I haven't a scooby

It's the punchline to a joke about the devil

It's an old joke about a guy who ends up in hell. He is submerged in shit up to his neck, after a while he starts thinking it's not so bad, then he hears a voice saying "breaks over" and he's suddenly standing on his head. Think there is a similar Bradbury story where it alternates between unbearably hot & cold?

Right, that explains the unpleasant sleeve design

... but does in no way excuse it.

'eads

i keep walking past the bus stop near where im staying and it says "both sides of the road" and it makes me think of this thread

so i looked on discogs and it listed no records called that, apart from one called corpses on both sides of the road, by some people called

Horrible 70s band names like endometrium cuntplow

Has this been mentioned yet, or is it too obvious?

lonely guy just thinking baout things

^ otm. I know we've moved on from the albums actually being horrible but nothing about that album is horrible!

Also in general I have grown to love these titles so much

every time this thread is bumped I think 'that must be all of them', but there seems to be an infinite number of these records

Jojo Gunne made a career of these: two of their other titles were Bite Down Hard and So...Where's The Show?.

xpost I really hope there's an infinite amount

But i will pretty much listen to any album released in the 1970s

This is basically one of these, right?

though really "Instant Karma" and "Mother" there kinda beg to be album covers on their own. "Cold Turkey" a sad missed opportunity.

Some 70s guys just didn't hit their stride until the 80s:

Gotta say these dudes seem spectacularly lucky to have scored a latter-day hit with "You Can Do Magic" - until I remembered that I was kind of baffled to imagine that someone actually greenlit four albums of America as a duo post-1980.

wow those are all great

That middle one reminded me of this...

seems like we've moved on to "head-shakingly literal record cover depictions of the title"...which is I guess a big part of the records on this thread so far.

lotta overlap, but basically "awkwardly conveys agreeable inessentiality" is my main criterion here.
