Kinda liking the Stuff It! cover - the frazzled hair, the way her white shorts make her top half look disembodied, the fact that "Stuff" in concentric circles is apparently their logo.

Krokodil's keyboardist Hardy Hepp cleaned up nicely for his solo career:

their drummer called himself Düde Dürst:

('Hahn' and 'Huhn' are German for 'Chicken' and 'Rooster', so the full title is Hepp - Chicken & Rooster: alive and good night)

Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:22 (ten years ago)

wauw! what is the title of the second one? can't figure out the second word

sonz of a croup da croupier (NickB), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:32 (ten years ago)

I made sure to give the title for that very reason!

Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:36 (ten years ago)

those are both ace

Doctor Casino, Monday, 8 June 2015 16:42 (ten years ago)

I made sure to give the title for that very reason!

oh i didn't see that! not 'wank' after all

sonz of a croup da croupier (NickB), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:47 (ten years ago)

Adding the exclamation point to Boys Will Be Boys! just makes it so much worse, for some reason.

Jim Gillette's unused octave (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 8 June 2015 19:03 (ten years ago)

Absolutely

Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Monday, 8 June 2015 19:16 (ten years ago)

Don't know why you'd call your album this but...

I really shouldn't drink hot coffee while reading this thread.

doug watson, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 12:44 (ten years ago)

<doug watson goes to conference room, sees it's a forgettable 1970s band named Hot Coffee, promoting their album "...With Extra Cream!?">

doug watson: Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Herbie Flowers - A Little Potty

Is there supposed to be some kind of a pun here, based on the adjective and noun meaning of "potty"? Shouldn't the guy be sitting on a potty then?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:31 (ten years ago)

I thought "potty" meant "quirky" in English-as-spoken-in-England.

the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:35 (ten years ago)

Maybe it's like, a little party, hence him being shrunk to mushroom size, but Herbie is also a little potty?

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:36 (ten years ago)

Ah, okay, I get it.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:39 (ten years ago)

That's a little awful.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:40 (ten years ago)

Maybe it's like, a little party, hence him being shrunk to mushroom size

i'm dubious about that. maybe there's a herb/pot joke going on there though

sonz of a croup da croupier (NickB), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:46 (ten years ago)

Doesn't explain why he's dressed as Noddy.

how was Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive not made it here yet!

Cory Sklar, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:34 (ten years ago)

a title so good that Men at Work nabbed it for one of their tunes

too young for seapunk (Moodles), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:40 (ten years ago)

Man this thread is like 5 solid years of #vnyl shipments

a silly gif of awkward larping (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:40 (ten years ago)

I would actually be stoked to get some of these records though!

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 03:44 (ten years ago)

At the very least, they'd make for a fantastic display rack

'shazam' kind of the sore thumb of that list, thought it's pretty well regarded? (nb. i know nothing about the move's profile level in the us)

would not be surprised if the bs&t has already made an appearance, but...

wife's dad moved out of his house into condo and i got a box of (mostly terrible) records but this one is pretty good and is close to the platonic ideal of this thread

(fyi all the hardcover books have titles of the songs on the album, a nice touch)

Making A Name For Myself (1979)

here i am in the land of large breakfasts (Doctor Casino), Friday, 19 June 2015 20:43 (ten years ago)

Wow... that is... I'm speechless... they don't come much better...

I've sort of specialized in abysmal UK nonentities of the 70s on this thread but I think I might have run out of them :( someone prove me wrong please.

The Manner of Crawly (Tom D.), Friday, 19 June 2015 21:06 (ten years ago)

lol at the making a name for myself cover... dog looks super embarrassed. A+

tylerw, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:16 (ten years ago)

Oh Tom I thought you'd found an inexhaustible motherlode of abysmal UK nonentities, don't say the supply has ended.

Tim, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:32 (ten years ago)

Yeah, Making A Name For Myself is so good that it seems anticlimactic to post this one (don't think it's been done yet?)

Half as cool as Man Sized Action (Dan Peterson), Friday, 19 June 2015 21:42 (ten years ago)

'Hard Labor' by Three Dog Night

The title and basic concept make it seem like something that should fit here, but it comes out a little too disturbing and ends up looking more like it should Devo album cover or something? apparently this version was quickly pulled in favour of a censored edition with a large sticking plaster over the centre of the image

soref, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:45 (ten years ago)

not sure if it entirely fits -- the title is just swarbrick 2 -- but I've always found the cover of this one kind of hilarious and halfassed

tylerw, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:47 (ten years ago)

cigarette pushes it over the line into being appropriate for the thread imo

soref, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:54 (ten years ago)

haha yeah, i love swarbrick

tylerw, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:58 (ten years ago)

the swarb is awesome, but...

note the miniscule hands attempting to indeed lift the lid
