He even has a certain kind of grin on the cover.

Buddy Rich, "Buddy & Soul"
+1 for one of the better puns in the Jazz pun subgenre
-10 for not actually doing Body & Soul on the record

Very good album tho! If you have never listened to “My Lady” you should rectify asap.

Pete Best - Best of the Beatles. You will note the cunning lack of his actual name on the front cover.

Secombe one is IMPRESSIVE

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 26 November 2020 16:35 (five years ago)

Agreed! Also, that Pete Best cover is legally actionable.

yeah the secombe one is great.

At first glance, I thought Secombe was carrying a sawn-off shotgun.

but then he came back with this, a live double album of his 2006 (?) Swiss tour, a Switzerland-only release:

I want to believe that’s a brilliant pun, either by him or his Swiss fandom, and not some kind of mistake

A brilliant pun would be “Phil-lections”.

Boring United Methodist Church (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 29 December 2020 04:51 (five years ago)

"Ph'lip" -- you know, that way people are always pronouncing Philip.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 29 December 2020 04:59 (five years ago)

I actually have a friend whose name is Philip, and his pals call him Flip

oooh, that's the stuff! the Schweizerdeutschness of “Kägi” was brilliant enough in itself, but this adds another sweet layer of Swissness to it. the pun is most definitely intended.

does seem most likely that it’s a fan-made thing tho, since this album has all the looks of a bootleg. it is mentioned on Keaggy’s Wikipedia page, but neither his website nor Discogs lists it.

I can only find it here, “the biggest Christian lp/mc/cd (web)shop of the German-speaking world”, where it’s status is “currently unavailable”:
https://www.bensound-musikshop.com/ccm/solisten-ccm/phil-keaggy/

A brilliant pun would be “Phil-lections”.

his classical album: Philharmonics and Philigrees
his christmas album: Keaggy Eleison (probably too blasphemic for him tho)

and to follow up with more dennis coffey, not a pun but this made me laugh hard...

Ozzy's got some too, but they can be endearing in how dumb they are:
