bummed it's not an album of Bread covers but not that bummed

that one is p confusing because the picture actually depicts bread being cut for this album
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 24 September 2018 18:26 (five years ago) link
interesting that the jargon "cut an album" was known enough in 1959 to make a funny.

I thought the same thing about the term "bread"

Yeah, it totally could have been a WB Loss Leader in the '70s.

i'm trying to imagine the concept by an actual legit heavy metal album cover artist as opposed to...that.
the tattoo should read "taxes" and the balance beam should read "innocent americans" and Stan Kelly should be sniping away in the corner.

"Be a brother man, hook me up." Yeah, between the title and the cover, there was obviously some drugs being used.

This LP doesn't quite fit on the title, but the cover was so awesome of the time I had to post it somewhere.

I'm so confused by "Last Mango in Paris" -- is there anything more to it than just mango instead of tango and for some reason unrelated to the album title the mango is a grenade? And why does he have a mango grenade on a date?

the very best thing about Last Mango In Paris is the sunglass-modified sunburn that Buffett has acquired on his Parisian vacation.

Greg "Fingers" Taylor - harmonicaI remember somebody I knew was going on tour playing bass in this guy’s band and it was supposedly kind of a big deal. Come to think of it there was another person from that place and time who lived in the same apartment complex and recorded with Sonny Fortune. /Idontknowwheretopostetc

The song "Last Mango in Paris" literally ends with him reading the words of the chorus off a bathroom wall.
Seems like he was trying to write a Warren Zevon song or something:
I had a third world girl in BuziosWith a pistol in each handShe always kept me coveredAs we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall StreetWith my high fashion model wifeI woke up dry beneath the African skyJust me and my Swiss Army knife
I ate the last mango in ParisTook the last plane out of SaigonTook the first fast boat to ChinaAnd Jimmy there's still so much to be done
