how so?
I think it'd make more sense to credit the studio bands for this output then whoever produced/mixed/remixed it.

fair enough, but in that case I think we're talking about literally dozens of albums of material from the Roots Radics, Aggrovators, Upsetters etc. as qualifying

The Yes Album & Fragile both came out in 1971 so there's another good one

Yeah. I thought of them but it'd take hours to wade through and try to figure out the best albums they played on in any one year.

I'm curious how many good examples there are of this past, say, 1981. Feels like the record companies really pushed bands to crank out material in the 70s but that seemed to go out the window when certain LPs of the 80s sold in insane numbers. Nowadays a 3-4 year gap is pretty standard.

there was basically no reason for anybody to do this in the 70-minute CD/major label bloat late 90s-early 00s era. and then post-internet what constitutes an "album" becomes very questionable - people are streaming mixtapes, etc.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:28 (four years ago) link
and in the 80s release schedules scaled back as budgets balooned, CDs came in etc.

it's probably not even fair to look at jazz guys ... Miles Davis, for example, released multiple albums each year 1953-1961
― Brad C., Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:42 (four years ago) link
do you think any pair of them are the best pair released in a single year tho?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
Tenuous, but if Dylan had released the "Royal Albert Hall" show in 1966, that and Blonde on Blonde would have been an amazing pair.

Prince - Sign O' The Times / The Black Album (1987)
― ymo sumac (NickB), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:51 (four years ago) link
xp of that run of years, my favorite would probably be 1957, when Miles had moved to Columbia but still had albums coming out on Prestige:
'Round About Midnight, Walkin', Miles Ahead, Cookin', Bags' Groove
I'm not crazy about the last one, but I play the others pretty often ... for a best pair I guess I'd choose 'Round About Midnight and Miles Ahead
― Brad C., Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:54 (four years ago) link
The Black Album was not actually released in 1987! It was released in 1994.

Black Album was pressed and promoed in 1987, it's fair to count for thread purposes. Thread title only says "by."
― MOAR PETE (sic), Thursday, 6 February 2020 23:09 (four years ago) link
in that case you could argue that almost all of Miles' 70s output was recorded in the same year in which case he wins this hands down imo

I read somewhere that the DMX thing was due to label pressure - Def Jam were being sold (from Polygram to Universal, as part of what would become the Island Def Jam Music Group) and needed another hit record to drive up their valuation, so they promised him a bonus if he'd deliver before the end of the calendar year.

obv E-40, who has more than a few examples. Revenue Retrievin': Day Shift and Revenue Retrievin': Night Shift from 2010 are all time

xpost ^ oh yeah - last year Underworld put out four "episodes" of their Drift series ranging from 38 mins to 85 mins, plus a box set collecting all of it (inc. a 30 minute episode from 2018) with another two hours of bonus tracks, plus the 70-minute Manchester Street Poem album.
the two albums recorded in 1970 both came out in 1971 anyway so this doesn't especially gain anything! nobody's counting Lovesexy as 1987 because one song from The Black Album got used on it, and there's only five minutes from 1970 on Get Up With It

Motörhead released Overkill in March 1979, Bomber in October 1979, and On Parole (recorded in 1976) in December 1979.

Lol good call on E-40. Obv the volume of what he put out diminished the individual impact of each release, but dude was releasing three albums a year (on the same day) and they were usually all fire
