For what it's worth, we believe that 'OVER' represents something of a milestone. On it Peter Hammill has managed to write down and interpret musically a description of love from a man's viewpoint...

I like the parallel between the Lee Hazelwood and Nick Lowe copy.
Both have a weirdly butthurt quality for an ad.

After years of only reading about this ad campaign, my mind was blown when I finally saw this ad (Rolling Stone, November 1968).
― Sterling-Kinney (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
man tyler GOOD spot there.
reading ads like the one for Stage Fright makes me wish, as I sometimes do, for a more ambitious mood in rock -- it's like, mainstream rock, its main ambition is & generally has been to reach a lot of people & sell a lot of records, which is fine, but the rhetoric of that Stage Fright ad - "This album is another further step* in The Band's development." (paragraph break) "In the development of our music." (paragraph break) "The music of our age." -- I mean, if that were the norm, the need to deflate it would be & was great, but I feel like there's also value of some kind in Taking It Too Seriously. That framing the presentation in those sorts of terms affects the actual text (i.e. the album)/experience in some way, and maybe also does so before it even gets made - there's this sense that whether the guys making the record are in fact too high to even think right, they're surrounded by this idea that what they're doing is somehow important, which, whether it's true or not (it's not), maybe compels them to aim high.

haha amazing.
there are a few quite well known ones that i've never seen like the Randy Newman 'his voice is really something once you get used to it' one and the blondie 'wouldn't you like to Rip Her To Shreds?' one. also unconfirmed but apparantly exist; eccho and the bunnymen's one for Ocean Rain with their own(?) quote on it saying 'the best album of all time'.

Gull was a British record label founded in 1974. Owned by Gull Entertainments Ltd., it was associated with Morgan Sound Studio, and was distributed by both Pye Records and Decca Records.[1] It was also distributed by Motown in the USA. Major bands on its books included Judas Priest, IF, Steve Ashley, Seventh Wave and Isotope
