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.

And I still can't believe that Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson didn't call their collaborative effort Roger Wilko.
