Frank White ‎– Nice To Be On Your Show

ilm doesn't seem to have an 'album covers featuring double-necked guitars' thread, alas

Prescient Bethlehem Records comp from 1959: "We Cut This Album For Bread"

That’s fantastic all around

bummed it's not an album of Bread covers but not that bummed

that one is p confusing because the picture actually depicts bread being cut for this album

interesting that the jargon "cut an album" was known enough in 1959 to make a funny.

I thought the same thing about the term "bread"

everything about that cover could pass for being from decades later than it actually was

Yeah, it totally could have been a WB Loss Leader in the '70s.

not 70s but

Accidental Manson vibe there

Nice to see a Photoshop jigsaw plugin used for something other than trade magazine ads for CRM software.

I've just notice that the title is misspelled and I don't know if that's on purpose

such a cheap jigsaw plugin - same few pieces over and over. get it togehter!

it's a shame that isaac hayes stole his idea back in 1970 or whenever

Chris Butler is a wiseacre, I'm sure he knows "togehter" is misspelled.

I wish he'd get it together and stop showing off!

you'd think that puzzle would be easier for him to do, what with there only being two types of pieces

93 but this is one of the worst album covers I've seen in a minute

holy wow, that's foul

i'm trying to imagine the concept by an actual legit heavy metal album cover artist as opposed to...that.

the tattoo should read "taxes" and the balance beam should read "innocent americans" and Stan Kelly should be sniping away in the corner.

I have been subbing entries in a finance magazine for eleven hours today but that sleeve discovered new levels of pain for my eyes

"Be a brother man, hook me up." Yeah, between the title and the cover, there was obviously some drugs being used.

love the art tho

This LP doesn't quite fit on the title, but the cover was so awesome of the time I had to post it somewhere.

this Jimmy Buffett is mid-'80s but it is pure '70s

omfg

is that mango a bomb??

Jimmy's so happy to have told that super elaborate dad joke

Jimmy Buffet: Off The See The Lizard

Jimmy Buffett: Beach House on the Moon

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/Al_beachhouse.jpg

The song "Math Suks" caused a brief media frenzy over Jimmy Buffett's seeming disdain for math education.

I'm so confused by "Last Mango in Paris" -- is there anything more to it than just mango instead of tango and for some reason unrelated to the album title the mango is a grenade? And why does he have a mango grenade on a date?

I don’t know but this is a band with a couple solid ringers:

Personnel Edit

The Coral Reefer Band:

Jimmy Buffett - vocals, guitar
Matt Betton - drums
Josh Leo - guitar
Robert Greenidge - steel drums, percussion
Vince Melamed - keyboards
Greg "Fingers" Taylor - harmonica
Mike Utley - keyboards
Sam Clayton - congas, percussion, background vocals
Larry Byrom - electric guitar
Glenn Frey - guitar, background vocals
Emory Gordy, Jr. - bass, electric bass
John Barlow Jarvis - keyboards
Mark O'Connor - violin
Reggie Young - electric guitar
Roy Orbison - background vocals on "Beyond The End"
Marshall Chapman, Larry Lee, Wendy Waldman, John Edwards, Timothy B. Schmit, Pam Tillis, Frank "Birdie" Saulino, Jim "Val" Valentini, Harry Stinson - background vocals
Harrison Ford - bullwhip on "Desperation Samba"

No one cracks a whip like Harrison Ford.

the very best thing about Last Mango In Paris is the sunglass-modified sunburn that Buffett has acquired on his Parisian vacation.

that tie's been through some times

Greg "Fingers" Taylor - harmonica
I remember somebody I knew was going on tour playing bass in this guy’s band and it was supposedly kind of a big deal. Come to think of it there was another person from that place and time who lived in the same apartment complex and recorded with Sonny Fortune. /Idontknowwheretopostetc

Okay, found an article about that band:

The Beach House on the Moon picture looks like he's off to drain the lizard.
