It just hit me that this "iconic" album title and cover is actually horribly unimaginative, literally named after the fucking recording studio and the cover is just them walking on a road. It's not far off from calling a song "Untitled Original." Still one of my favorite records of all time.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 30 November 2020 06:11 (one month ago) link
In 1970, the studio was renamed from EMI in honour of the group's 1969 album Abbey Road.

Is "God's great banana skin" some known expression/metaphor that I'm just not familiar with, or did Rea come up with it himself? What does it even mean?
― Tuomas, Monday, 30 November 2020 07:54 (one month ago) link
Ah, it's explained at the Wiki page for the title song:
Rea was inspired to write the song after he noticed his daughter was tempted to laugh at "somebody who'd been giving her a hard time". Rea told John Pidgeon in 1992: "I told her 'don't laugh when people go down even if they've been awful to you because you're tempting God to throw you a banana skin'. It's half moral and half superstition. Anybody who's done me a disservice in life, and I see them go down, you get tempted to laugh. I don't know whether it's superstition or not, or I daren't laugh just in case God throws me a banana skin as well."

xp ok whatever named after the road the studio is on, still extremely uninspired
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 06:30 (one month ago) link

in my cover-connections fantasy, i like to imagine that black sabbaths paranoid is his hallucinating POV and this is the reverse shot, as you calmly approach.
