this is a funny thread... any band that records one album that's even remotely remarkable or successful inevitably makes a second, unless some sort of tragedy intervenes. so this thread's pool is fairly narrow, consisting of bands who either never had a hit or found an audience EVER (ie, no reunions or comeback albums a la Gary Wilson or whoever), or bands who willfully disbanded (ie Young Marble Giants) following their initial foray.
― Richard Nixon's Field of Warmth (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 15 August 2011 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
remarkable and successful are two v v different things, and i'd argue that there are plenty of artists who made just a single remarkable album.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 15 August 2011 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
well not a lot of people found their first album's too remarkable at the time, otherwise they would have made another one
― Richard Nixon's Field of Warmth (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 15 August 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
I say this after realizing that a bunch of the acts I was going to list here actually made little known follow-up albums several years later that bombed

I can't find much online info about him. Really obscure even by cult-figure standards, and much of what I can find doesn't agree with other sources, and not many people who knew him seem to be speaking up. Here's what seems certain: He made his first album in 1969 backed by the Wrecking Crew; here's the best information I found from the guy involved in the recent reissue (a good quality needle-drop, since a search didn't turn up any master tapes). Made a second self-titled album in 1972, on a different label, that's likeable but doesn't seem to draw the sort of raves its predecessor did. Also released a single on RCA around that time. The 2nd album was also recently reissued on CD by this Korean company whose legitimacy or quality I know nothing about. The song track listings are in the wrong order, although they play in the correct order on the CD itself (the two songs they made available on their site for streaming are also misidentified). He drove out to Nashville in 1975, stopping at a motel in Santa Rosa on the way. That's the last he is ever seen.
Accounts of those last days vary maddeningly. He was driving either a VW Beetle or a truck. His guitar and wallet were found in the motel room, or maybe he never even checked into his room and there was no sign he ever occupied it. He told friends he was depressed and just wanted to disappear, or he told friends how excited he was about the impending third album he was going to record in Nashville where he thought his music would be better received. A search of the area turned up a body that didn't match Sullivan at all. Both cases remain unsolved.

Uncarved Block is another fav, hadn't really considered it in the terms of being a one-off record. Fans of Flux should check out the Von Spar S/T from a few years ago.

I don't own them anymore but I seem to think Come On Down is longer than Rehab Doll... not sure why one would be considered an EP vs. an LP.

The Other People Place was James Stinson, who released several albums under other pseudonyms, so I don't think this counts. Otherwise there'd be plenty of electronic music albums to nominate, as those folks are fond of changing their artist names all the time.

Shaggs Own Thing is a compilation but of stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released.

How is it a compilation then? Isn't "stuff recorded after their debut and no previously released" = album. Or how do you define an album?
