Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do

I've got my own hot poop to do...

My friend was showing me pics of his dad’s LP collection and he has this extremely rare 70’s California filth-rock record. Hot Poop Does Their Own Stuff. Insane! Only 500 ever made pic.twitter.com/wbmkp4A1BS

Hot Poop - Does Their Own Stuff!

1 for sale from £585.87

Only 500 people ever bought the Hot Poop record, but . . . OK, 200 people, but you know . . . Ah, who am I trying to kid, only 35 of these were sold, all to their friends/family, and they didn't go on to do anything of note.

Only 500 people ever bought the Hot Poop record, but . . . Every one of them went on to poop.

The album cover was my concept. I'm surprised that more people don't get the front cover. It seems rather simple. Hot poop, poop also meaning crap. So Larry's taking a crap, it's being carried over to the others by Jim, Lisa is heating it up (cooking it) in a spoon, I'm shooting it up (doing it) and Bruce is passed out. Hot Poop, doing their own stuff (shit). The photograph was taken in an empty building in Isla Vista. The building actually had no front on it but the photographer drew in the front window shadow to give the allusion that it was a complete building with four sides. The back cover concept I came up with in it's entirety. I wanted us standing in a field of donkeys (I get donkeys and mules mixed up. I said a field of donkeys but I meant a field of mules) with two pictures, one clothed and the other with switched genitalia. In one more amazing Hot Poop moment I stumbled on a field of donkeys/mules almost the second I came up with the idea. We got the photographer and drove out there. The mules were nice enough to crowd around us for the pictures. As we were wrapping it up a helicopter started flying over as I think the land belonged to Union Oil.

ilm's still got it, folks

Review on RYM:

Hot Poop Does Their Own Stuff. Why? 'Cause nobody else would dare! This private pressing is so brain numbingly strange that it's almost impossible not to like it! Frenzied falsetto vocals, omnipresent fuzz, and deranged subject matter (with such songs as "Wing Wang", "Screamin'", "I Always Play With My Food", and the eerie "My Baby's Dead") make for an album that cannot be comprehended by a sober mind! This is what happens when hippies forsake LSD for nitrous oxide!

Album is on Spotify btw

Barenaked Ladies: Maybe You Should Drive

I kind of like that title, especially in conjunction with the photo.

no.

it's definitely not their worst cover!

For some stupid reason I went through the wiki article for BNL and all of their album covers are bad and ugly

Shocking

This shows how the ideal horrible album title had changed from the 70s to the 90s.

I've been tempted to start a "Horrible '90s album titles like Fush Yu Mang" thread, but enough of that gets covered here too.

In the 80s, no-one wanted to be silly so they gave albums horrible titles like Journeys to Glory.

The covers of "Stunt," "Born on a Pirate Ship" and "Maroon" aren't bad. The covers of "Gordon" and "Silverball," on the other hand, are dreadful.

I beg to differ. Stunt is especially ugly in that 90s alterna way

I guess all that cocaine didn't help, eh.

One for the "love/hate" or maybe just "love" pile?

That's one of my old ones but the thread has been going for almost ten years now.

Still don't know what the cover is all about though.

hah sorry, should have checked. Yes I can't see anything to do with buzzards there.

Cool.

The admission ("no buzzards here") in that insert/ad is hilarious.

Of course he’s the kind of guy who likes ferrets.

Stray Dog: While You're Down There

That Stillwater sleeve looks like something from the 90s.

1978, released on Capricorn Records

Sorry I wasn't commenting on it being thread-worthy or not... It just looks not-of-its-time.

Agreed, it’s totally ‘90s! Even the typography

I don’t find this mentioned (via Ctl-F), apologies if it’s a repeat:

Well Thats That

A one-off 1978 release by That's That, it would seem. Local functions band if you ask me. Dorset-based? I wouldn't be surprised.
