In like ten years I want to make an album called "Just Going Through Some Old Tweets..."

the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 30 September 2016 01:45 (nine years ago)

would be a good title if Henry Hadaway ever decides to make another Tweets record

Glenn Shorrock, "Villain Of The Peace" (from 1982, but he deserves to be pilloried for this nonetheless)

Strangely titled album by 70s TV heartthrob, Mick Robertson, "Then I Change Hands"...

Does the back cover have his left hand gripping his belt and the right hanging causally by the fly?

Janne Schaffer - Earmeal (1978)

Original Swedish album cover; US version is a sad Hard Day's Night ripoff (the "bunch of portrait shots from the same shoot, with the film border and stuff" genre).

dude's place seems like a cool place to chill tbh

It's from 1987 but this piece of crap from Daltrey surely has a home here:

Roger Daltrey, "Can't Wait To See The Movie"

Yikes

niels, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 14:45 (nine years ago)

Yeah that might epitomize the 80s continuation/transformation of this aesthetic. Grayer and more brightly-lit, but otherwise the same old shit.

DOCTOR CAISNO, BYCREATIVELABBUS (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 15:34 (nine years ago)

more awkward than horrible...

I blame this thread

*prompts massive reissue series based on thread*

great Canadian prog-psych debut from 1969 (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 28 October 2016 16:42 (nine years ago)

I actually got Now Look and I've Got My Own Album to Do a couple months back. They are pretty good records.

Jake's Pregress, by Jake Thackery

koogs, Monday, 31 October 2016 21:27 (nine years ago)

Thackray also had a posthumous box-set called "Jake In A Box"

soref, Monday, 31 October 2016 23:36 (nine years ago)

(xp) fabulous album btw

Millions of species Faye Dunaway (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 00:02 (nine years ago)

Jake's Progress, obviously, not whatever I typed yesterday. Pun on (a) rake's progress, I guess.

koogs, Tuesday, 1 November 2016 15:36 (nine years ago)

Oddly, having never heard him before, he was on the radio twice in 24 hours, yesterday.

koogs, Tuesday, 1 November 2016 15:37 (nine years ago)

...is he some sort of singing rural Northern English veterinarian?

Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 6 November 2016 08:00 (nine years ago)

Yorkshire's answer to Jacques Brel, basically. Sadly missed.

Don't think this one made it on here (couldn't find it at least, sorry if it's here):

Triple hit of blokiness, self-deprecation and pun

Tim, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 12:31 (nine years ago)

Why'd it take me years to remember that this record fit here?

Prob because the painting is obscures the title in several ways...

juggulo for the complete klvtz (bendy), Saturday, 12 November 2016 14:56 (nine years ago)

Not 70s but I think the title definitely channels the same awfulness:

have we had this one already? or was it another classical album that puns on the "x plays y" theme?

soref, Sunday, 13 November 2016 01:16 (nine years ago)

julian bream recover is phenomenal there. wes anderson most likely owns it.

didn't know JS Bach looked like David fricke

a but (brimstead), Thursday, 17 November 2016 23:03 (nine years ago)

It doesn't say which Bach, does it? Based on that photo it's more likely to be Johann Christian than Johann Sebastian:

Is that Foucault on the Climax Blues Band cover?

The Knack - ...But The Little Girls Understand

Rae Kwoniff (NickB), Monday, 21 November 2016 15:10 (nine years ago)

I don't think that really fits - it's just an old blues line from Howlin Wolf etc.

Skyhooks - Ego Is Not A Dirty Word (1975). Sorry for the huge image but the next step down is all like washed-out and illegible 300x300 pixel ones shot at a funny angle. And man, that back cover.

dustalo springsteen (Doctor Casino), Monday, 21 November 2016 16:38 (nine years ago)

Their complete studio discography:

Living In The 70's (1974)
Ego Is Not A Dirty Word (1975)
Straight In A Gay Gay World (1976)
Guilty Until Proven Insane (1978)
Hot For The Orient (1980)

yeah but (1) it's p creepy and gross, and (2) the cover is a really shit pun on it amirite? (i.e. the woman is under a mic stand)

Rae Kwoniff (NickB), Monday, 21 November 2016 17:15 (nine years ago)

Not everything is a pun, Nick.

The Doug Walters of Crime (Tom D.), Monday, 21 November 2016 17:39 (nine years ago)

i know i know but there are only two things on the cover - a girl and a stand - and they are arranged on two different levels so you know you know
