"Believe it or not, the name of this album is "The Earth, a Small Man, His Dog and a Chicken"
-- BrianB"

But the cover has a cock, not a chicken.
Ahhhhhh...

What's the title of the above?

That would be Holy Diver.

Oh my god....I haven't seen that cover in about fifteen years. Getting misty!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think I ever made it through the whole thing.

― may pang (maypang), Saturday, 31 January 2004 04:03 (twenty years ago) link

The title track and "General Strike" are okay, if I remember correctly.

The Colour and the Shape

I see the Colour, I see the Shape, but nothing else.

Umm, shit, how do I post pictures on this board?

You have to use the greater-than/less-than brackets. Like this:

The end result would look like:

In other words, use the "view source" function because I'm too lucid to figure out anything tonight.

And there's the other picture where they're making a moving picture about these people moving pictures. It's so...meta.

Quibble with the Frampton. The yawnsomely literal title for this picture would be something like "Frampton Stares" or "Mouth Agape, With Guitar." It doesn't show him "coming alive," not literally.

― no opinion, Sunday, 1 February 2004 06:15 (twenty years ago) link

Well, maybe if the album was called Crouching manfully next to a Panther maybe.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 1 February 2004 13:45 (twenty years ago) link

There's probably 100 better examples of this one, but this was all I could find

yeah, on same theme I picked up a second hand copy of Big Jim Sullivan's LP "Big Jim's Back" yesterday. Guess what the cover pic is of?

Frampton looks like he's cumming to me!

not that I don't love this album, though it would have been more apropos (and more hilarious!) if it had been named Super Gaye.

Quibble with Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" - he is patently OUTSIDE the house. Has there ever been a proverbial - as opposed to legal - prohibition specifying that "people shouldn't throw stones AT glass houses"? I think not.

I finally got a copy of Fire Of Unknown Origin, and I never before noticed how literal the cover art is (though, it's the opposite of yawnsome, to be fair).

Also, I now see where Ghost got all their best ideas (they even kinda stole the band logo?)
