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

"New Clear Waste"

http://cranialspasm.com/recordclub/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vapors.jpg

... belongs on a horrible album titles by new wave bands thread though

also http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/96/Ashnuclearsounds.jpg/220px-Ashnuclearsounds.jpg

and AR Kane's third album was called New Clear Child

it was rubbish btw, just in case the title doesn't serve as warning enough

I always thought this had a "Would you fucks leave us alone now please?" kinda vibe to it.

If they'd stayed together into the 70s proper, Let It Be...Naked would have been a great title for a beigey album cover where the four Beatles are hanging around at a stuffy, fancy-dress party, all nude, but with unlikely objects blocking the naughty bits from view.

gawd i forgot about let it be...naked....what a clown

oh shit I guess it's numerically and alphabetically represented but Van Halen's OU812 is one of these

Oh...You Eight One, Two?!

Some band also did I81B4U

Laugh? I Nearly Bought One! by Killing Joke

Beatles b-side: "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)"

Saw this and thought of this thread

Ha, that's fucking awful. I saw one last week and meant to post it, too:

Oh good god, I only just got what I think the "Which One's Willie?" cover is supposed to mean.

I don't get it... "which one's will he?" (will he what?)

I want to know, but I also know the answer is going to be tedious in a way only terrible 70s album titles are.

The boy is holding up the photo to his mother asking which is his father. she slept with all of them. Also a double entendre - which one is Willie vs whose 'Willie' was it.

Actually sort of clever, in the stupidest way something can be clever.

I saw this and thought it was maybe a modern day version of this, but I think it's slightly too subtle? The title really needs to written in a font at least the same size as the artists name, and the cover should be a close up of the ace of clubs, with a hand pointing at the club.

needs to be in the literal covers thread.

I think join the club totally works

The Zevon title is good

Has their ever been a joint effort between two artists named Juan called "It Takes Juan to Know Juan?"

I always groan/crack up when I see that one in the dollar bin, it's SO sloppy and bad-looking, and just screams ''...but you wouldn't have enjoyed it much!''

Um... those Juicy Lucy albums are a little disturbing

Really, isn't Sheik Yerbouti an appropriate-as-hell album title ??? This was in the era of Shah of Iran as well... i remember a neighbor coming home from months of construction work in the Middle East with a gift tin of Shah Pistachios. Relevant, i propose.

Thinking about this thread and the Roxy one re. album covers is fun. The latter seem like the greatest visionaries ever because jesus, the gems in here.

I didn't see this one mentioned, it's v stupid and deserves mentioning

haha saw one of those last night in the same record bin as the one i just posted.

"gilbert o'sullivan" also very much in the spirit of these titles tbf

To wit, his 2004 compilation: The Berry Vest of Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Todd Terje keeping the spirit alive.

it's difficult to make out at this size, but each of the heads is made up of many smaller heads, rather like the terrifying freeview advert the bbc ran several years ago

also, their *sophomore album* was called 'Second Flight' and had a big picture of a propeller on the front

In the spirit of the thread title (I think)

Evie Sands - Any Way That You Want Me

Bonnie Raitt - Takin' My Time

and, simply, "ME" by Mary-Anne

Then there's this somewhat NSFW cover from Jo Jo Gunne: http://sinistersaladmusikal.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/100_6836.jpg

though maybe that should've gone on the Yawnsomely Literal thread

I wonder what the thought process was behind that JJ Gunne cover art

Even though it is from '69, I'd think Colosseum's 'Those Who Are About to Die Salute You' might fit in here but then it may have also inspired AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock, We Salute You."

In the spirit of this thread, friend on facebook just suggested a band called Hot Lasagna, and I named the third album "A Third Helping of Hot Lasagna"

Wet Willie is a veritable goldmine for this thread

http://virginvinylrecords.com/store/images/3000/r3535.jpg

hahah i just made the same decision, they've showed up the most times in this thread of a band where i actually have no clue what they sound like

dude does a pretty good van morrison impression, i'll give them that!
