A.C. Reed one is top notch.

Buckfast At Tiffany's (Tom D.), Monday, 29 August 2022 15:35 (three years ago)

yeah that's great. especially with how the motion blur on the sax does not make it look at all like it's headed for the trash can.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 August 2022 16:44 (three years ago)

Right, it is overshooting.

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 2 September 2022 14:37 (three years ago)

I'm looking at the back cover and trying to read the liner notes to see if I'm missing some clue as to what business would be more appropriate for Mr. Reed.

I’m listening to the song on Spotify—
Some of the other professions he wishes he’d chosen are being Mr. T or driving a truck.

David Townsend - Making Up The Numbers.

^ his main claim to fame was that he wrote 'miss you nights' for cliff richard, which was also later covered by art garfunkel

Must be a really skinny guy, look how that (slim) suit hangs on his frame.

Twenty years into his career, looks like he recorded 'Jubilee', naturally

bendy, Monday, 19 September 2022 17:50 (three years ago)

this later one possibly too subtle for its own good:

Should have made a reggae album called InDUBitivelee

As a fellow Lee I can't endorse any of this

(perennial quid bin lurker 'busy making progress' also visible in that picture, has anyone ever actually bought that thing? any good tracks?)

o shit the sheriff (NickB), Sunday, 25 September 2022 10:32 (three years ago)

Feel sure there should be some decent Australian contributions to this thread, but all I can think of offhand is veteran rocker Ross Wilson’s ‘Dark Side of the Man’

(not seventies, but definitely horrible)

meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Sunday, 25 September 2022 10:52 (three years ago)

Pretty sure Skyhooks have made an appearance or two.

I've seen things you people wouldn't belieeeeeeve!!! (Matt #2), Sunday, 25 September 2022 13:07 (three years ago)

1978 UK 10-track vinyl LP, a bizarre benefit album by Michael Cassidy and Jeffrey Armstrong, drawing on influences as diverse as Neil Diamond and Alice Coltrane, well worth getting for 'Protoplasmic Crud' alone!.

Flaky Pastry - Ingredients

‘The Ingredients’ would have been a perfectly serviceable band name tho. they could have used “Flaky Pastry” as a B-side song title.

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 25 September 2022 13:17 (three years ago)

OK, so "Busy Making Progress" is some kind of Hare Krishna thing? Which I assume they gave out for free, or next to nothing, hence why it's so commonly found in bargain bins? Like this one:

Narada Michael Fagan (Tom D.), Sunday, 25 September 2022 13:18 (three years ago)

it's exactly the same guy that was behind that one - michael cassidy. i did actually take a punt on one that years ago due to a shoutout to john fahey on the back! i don't remember enjoying it much though

well, there are these...

bruce woodley - just good friends
buffalo - only want you for your body

no lime tangier, Monday, 26 September 2022 04:39 (three years ago)

hah god thought that Bruce Woodley cover was even more scandalous for a second - took me a moment to work out what body section i was seeing

meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Monday, 26 September 2022 04:43 (three years ago)

Feel like this is probably in the zone re naff visual concept - Francis Butler - There Is No Escape - from memory this is a non-terrible LP!

meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Monday, 26 September 2022 05:20 (three years ago)

Given their 70s (disco) influences, we can safely assume Phats & Small named their album Now Phats What I Small Music as a homage to 70s album titles

Pilot’s From the Album of the Same Name.

I like that title... and, indeed, that album.

Fronted by a bearded Phil Collins (Tom D.), Monday, 3 October 2022 10:29 (three years ago)

It’s a wonderful album, I go back to it often. :)
