Mael Intuition - The Best of the Sparks 1974-76

soref, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 22:44 (ten years ago)

I quite like that one - as well as continuing the 'mael' pun, I guess the fan could be seen as a callback to the cover of 'Kimono My House' (which much be their best known album in UK by some margin)?

also from Miles Davis: Milestones.

feel like No Talking, Just Head is kind of in the spirit of this here. that mac dre one is amazing because the cover seems to indicate upwards of four different titles, and they're all terrible.

It's a matter of profound regret, for the purposes of this thread at least, that he and Georgie Fame didn't call their duo album The Price of Fame. Instead they called it Fame & Price/Price & Fame/Together, which is a bit of a mouthful.

Not a pun on his name but he has an album called "Et Tu Fluté".

Caput Johannis in Disco (Tom D.), Thursday, 5 November 2015 19:01 (ten years ago)

If he'd called that Next To Nunn he could have been on the cover standing next to himself, looking shocked/terrified/amused etc. A missed opportunity.

Goddo - An Act Of Goddo

I've always thought the album title was funny. Even the band name got an eye roll from me.

The lead guy's last name is Godowitz, where I presume the band name came from.

It was a different time I guess, but "The Black Man's Burdon" by Eric Burdon & War is kind of shocking to see now as the title of an album that a famous white singer made with an established black band.
