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.

and of course

alan price has a few of these:

the price to play
a price on his head
this price is right
performing price
it's priceless!!
priceless hits

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.
