'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

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 halfassedhttp://cdn.discogs.com/F2zILJJ4Sb79YGDCn27SZKy7_Qk=/fit-in/600x597/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(96)/discogs-images/R-2214839-1270396262.jpeg.jpg

That does seem to be the clear winner, way ahead of the back.
This genre just keeps on giving, like film noir or something, pretty much every newly rediscovered example has something to offer.

Christopher Milk wasn't a person--it was LA Glam band led by Rock Critic John Mendelsohn (whom you might remember his liner notes to Kinks albums and/or his vicious pans of early Led Zeppelin albums in Rolling Stone), his hyping of which diminished much of his journalistic cred rather quickly.

The Rolling "Top of the Pops" BBC4 Revival thread prompted me to do a wiki on B.A. Robertson, where I found out about his debut album, credited to Brian Alexander Robertson, "Wringing Applause":

Bizarrely this was released on Ardent Records, and seems to have been at least partly recorded at Ardent Studios, hence the involvement of Terry Manning... yet it was produced by Georg Kajanus, later frontman of Sailor! I want to hear it now!
