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

it's a real grey area between these threads I tell ya (xxxposts)

Horrible titles are usually more than three words

I enjoy seeing these old albums (and I’m grateful they’re posted here); but sometimes I get the sense from these threads that this is ILM’s platonic ideal of an album cover & title:

I'm pretty sure it's Paranoid

Roger Salloom: Would You Like To Meet Someone

grisso on fire!

lol looks like a guy going to join a cult

XP Naw, just window shopping vinyl on Reverb & eBay.

So, often when I look up the unknown-to-me artists that appear on this thread, like Bill up there, Discogs reveals

...it's a Canadian release. Is it the selection bias of my ignorance or might Canada have produced a higher proportion of these sorts records?

Simple explanation is that Canada is the only country where the creation of these sorts of albums were subsidised by the government.

On the label it's "There's Only One F'en Afendoulis."

Oh, yeah, looks like the song I posted was written by Peter but sung by someone else.

"Killing Me Softly With His Song"
Peter Afendoulis

I know that song was written for Don McLean, but it should have been written for Harry Chapin. I was "introduced" to Harry’s music when I was a wannabe Folk Singer in the late Seventies. I was having a bit of success, having written a few songs that proved to be popular, but I was always looking for new songs to sing. A friend loaned me a copy of "Greatest Stories Live" and that was it! He was telling me my life story - and it changed my whole outlook on life.

Because I was traveling around a lot and in the wrong place at the wrong time, I never got to see him live until Newcastle City Hall (The last (mainland UK gig) on his 1980 Tour. He and the Band did 45 minute first set, after which Harry spent another 45 minutes in the Foyer signing programmes (He signed mine!), T-shirts, albums and stuff, and then a 90 minute second spot (of which Harry did about 30 minutes solo).

From '81 but sneaks in... Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, "Things That Go Bump In The Mike".

From 1993, but anyone who titles their album "Above and Beyond the Doll of Cutey" deserves to be immortalized.
