The Ann Steel Album is one of many albums by Roberto Cacciapaglia, not Ann Steel herself.I think The Glove should be included
― classic albums live! (Ówen P.)
I'm pretty sure it was put out under her own name and self titled in 1979. The 2003 reissue is credited to Roberto Cacciapaglia and the album title changed to The Ann Steel Album. I was hoping it would count but realise this may be a long shot.

Would Death count? (one studio album, ...For The Whole World To See during their existence, one posthumous odds & sods compilation)
Someone nominated Big L upthread, and he too got one of those posthumous compilation albums after he died, besides the one album he released while living.

@ KP Really? That is interesting! I haven't read anything about that record, all of my knowledge about it was gathered from extemporaneous commentary from the friend who introduced it to me, including "Sears catalog model" "from middle America" "contacted by Italian dance producer" "she wrote all the lyrics herself, and cheekily calls punk 'boring' in 1979"

Yeah those were the things I knew about her too before I started looking for the album late last year. I quickly discovered you could either pay an absolute fortune for the orginal vinyl with her name on it or the Roberto Cacciapaglia CD version which was slightly less and the one I ended up settling for. It's probably the last album I heard that really blew me away.

The original LP of Would You Believe is one of the rarest rock albums you're likely to (not) find - only about 25 were made, intended to be sent to promoters and radio, but financial problems at Immediate prevented it ever going into full production, despite excellent reviews and the support of several of rock's aristocracy.

haha. a few years ago someone on ILM told me that lp was a good'un. i bought it cheap. got 3 tracks in. gave up.never listened all way through.could be time to go a diggin' in the archive and see if it clicks now that i am older and more openminded ?

It's available on spotify for those who are curious http://open.spotify.com/album/3EZEosVwVwad7Two87a1Kg if you don't like Bowie at his most rococo or the Divine Comedy then best to move on. Needless to say I partly disagree with keythhhtyek in that it's awful. Pretentious, absolutely but that stuff is catnip to me.

My cursory glance at Billy Nicholls on discogs didn't show a second album, so we can pull that one. Sorry guys. I thought of another good one to take its place that is 100% legit for this: Amanaz- Africa. It's awesome, too.

I can't find much online about Philamore Lincoln, except that his sole album (on Epic) was released in 1970, and features half of Led Zeppelin backing him up (Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on cello), but was likely recorded a few years earlier given that Pagey and JPJ were otherwise occupied by this time. But in 1968, Page had recently joined the Yardbirds after years of studio session work, and Jones continued backing recording sessions for one more year, including the late-period Yardbirds. Yet another Yardbird, Chris Dreja, took the front and back cover photos. There seems to have been no promotion for the album; but Mary Hopkin had a UK hit with a cover of his "Temma Harbour" which appears in original form on this album.
Anyway, the music itself probably already sounded dated when it was first released, but strong hooks never go out of style, and songs like "You're the One" and "When You Were Looking My Way" remain tasty morsels of wistful '60s British pop.
