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

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!

BA Robertson's career always seems little incomprehensible but imo it's just that he was a good networker. He seemed to be able to surround himself with super-session men - Herbie Flowers, Davy Graham, the guys from AWB, Billy Livsey, Steve Harley's band and so on. The connection with George Kajanus is that he and Robertson shared the same music publisher, Steve Morris Music. Seems like there is a lot of cross-pollination between a pretty lacklustre roster of artists - Robertson, Kajanus, Stephen Bishop, Yvonne Elliman (who also recorded at Ardent). They recorded each others songs, did a duet or two etc. eg. Robertson did a heinous vocal cover of ABBA's Arrival with Frida on the same album that Stephen Morris wrote a song or two.

It's a little embarrassing that I know even vague details of all this btw.

'Bang Bang' was great.

Aye, gerritupye Brian, cheeky article.

"Tromboneliness" is one for the ages. I can only imagine it's a whole album of sad-trombone.

it's actually quite good... if you like solo trombone improv! think mangelsdorff has a few titles that wouldn't be out of place here.

Spooky Tooth ‎– You Broke My Heart So...I Busted Your Jaw

'one of the few bands who can create heavy rock and roll with subtlety and soul' according to the sleevenotes

appears on spotify as 'You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Law' for some reason

Jeez Weight are mean

Have I already posted that? Or did I almost post it? I've been in this thread too long, I'm losing it.

I did a search before posting and couldn't find it, but it does looks sort of familiar, so maybe? we really need a masterlist of horrible 70s album titles so we can avoid this kind of confusion

have we had this one? Goose Creek Symphony ‎– "Do Your Thing But Don't Touch Mine"

We have definitely had that one (xp) Once you've seen that sleeve it's hard to get it out of your head.

It's sad day indeed when Derek 'St. Del' Bailey ends up in this thread.

haha I started making a master list once but got daunted by thread length, hmmm

Yesterday at work somebody asked me for help when I was swamped and I almost replied "I've got my own album to do" but realized it would have made zero sense.

hahahaha

I did this today! My friend wants me to contribute to something he's writing, and after agreeing he told me to "get on it then", to which I replied with Mr. Wood's words.

This thread has made record stores more enjoyable for me, always keeping an eye out for more titles

YES!

I found one last weekend but it is from '82, which should be ok as there are a few 80s LPs on here.

Todd Rundgren - The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect

Steppenwolf "For Ladies Only" and "Steppenwolf At Your Birthday Party" are a bit odd. The Euro cover on "For Ladies Only" definitely fits in with some of these on the thread.

"Jenny, did you invite Steppenwolf to my birthday party?"

I'd love to watch a cartoon based around characters in this band who go around in a van playing shows and solving mysteries.

oh god, "For Ladies Only" is horrrrrid

Incidentally, now that it's catching on as an expression - - - in what tone do we imagine Wood expressing this sentiment? I've never taken it as indignant (though it works beautifully for that) but rather more of a "wellp, I guess it's my turn, here we go!" Really it should have been a Ringo Starr title, he has the right "oh, good ol' Ringo" quality about him.

The penis car was the gatefold photo on the US version:

stroke of genius

definitely a stroke of something.

Oh crap, I just remembered another good one!

Black Oak Arkansas - If an Angel Came to See You, Would You Make Her Feel at Home?

I got to say BOA is a weird ass boogie band.

probe records

xp BOA were like just on the verge of being a cult at one point, I think, but wound up being more into having a good time.

All bands should strive to have in-ground pools with the group logo at the bottom.

Got a reissue of this mid '70s jazz album (sax/piano duets) recently:
