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

Well done bendy! Yeah I remember it being hard to look that one up... oddly, I also saw it out in the wild again recently, tho it could have been the same copy as I saw the first time...

Looking more at Lost Leaders, and derailing a bit, 1979s Al La Carte really reaches for Roxy Music, but only lands Robert Palmer on the tracklist

Though it does confuse al la carte and hors d'oeuvre, in a yawnsomly literal way.

Re: Roxy, I guess Atlantic (sister to Warners & the band's US label at the time) releases were off limits for those sets, and their first two albums (released here on Reprise and Warners, respectively) were too old to merit excerpting.

is that the L.A. hard rock band A La Carte?

Nope, just another Warners sampler.

Since we have an oven chips thread on the go, let's kill two birds with one stone ...

... somewhat in the vein of Mike Harding but the guy wrote "January Man", which is one of the greatest songs ever written.

lite jazz virtuoso/Steely Dan sideman Larry Carlton has a few:

Wow...this is a weird one and as a fan of the thread, I don't seeing this one before.

Excellent, I'm looking for a copy too.

Does this fit?

Not a horrible title, really, except that the cover art transmutes it into a lame dad pun.

A friend of my Dad had that record, and the cover freaked me out as a seven year old. I knew it was implying something, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Recently found it for a quarter.

his flute suite was a sequel to his toot suite btw

Bedtime Stories

yikes, don't think i've ever heard of him, looks dodgy as hell. is he some sort of roy chubby brown type deal?

he did smutty comedy ska/reggae tracks. I like 'Big Six':https://youtu.be/K5w8zV9Uoos

fuck me that's a tough listen

great find for this thread though

Leigh Stirling ‎– In The Wings

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7cxS3LrTv0s/hqdefault.jpg

I'm not sure if this should count or not, the title itself is pretty unremarkable but I feel like there's some kind of terrible pun I'm missing? otherwise, why is there a picture of him standing on a jetty rather than anything in any way related to the phrase 'in the wings'?

Materializing. Is he dead or something?

that was a posthumous realease after he was killed in a failed birdman attempt off the end of bognor pier - sadly he didn't have it 'in the wings' that day.

good god

just looked this up on discogs and it seems to be one of the first albums that Daniel Lanois was credited on (as engineer). idk if he appears on the cover.

the tracklist for the second Crackers album ("Hard On You") is perfect

A1 Hard On You 3:20
A2 Double Trouble 3:02
A3 The Tit Man 2:35
A4 Visions 3:55
A5 Rock 'N Roll Tonite 2:22
B1 The Shove 4:11
B2 Snort 4:13
B3 Life Is Just A Stage 3:34
B4 Arts Of The Sailor (Pirate Song) 2:58
B5 Little Johnny 5:06

This album cover was our managers idea, he sent it to print before we even got to see it, oh well, BRANDED. Thanks for the kind words guys, you can contact Crackers at regdenis✧✧✧@hotm✧✧✧.c✧✧ We'd love to hear from you! Those were Glory Daze for sure eh!

"Our manager also titled all the songs, especially 'The Tit Man'"

Are those 57s? I usually prefer to mic butts with a high quality large diaphragm condenser or a spaced pair of small diaphragm condensers in an X/Y pattern

Nahhh, ya gotta use the Neumann binarual system.

Haha I've seen pictures of that setup it's unreal, recording in front of a crash test dummy with 2 mics sticking out of its ears

this cover confuses me - how does 24 parrots work as a pun?

we must've had these guys already surely, but just in case...

btw britishers of a certain age will be more familiar with the singer of that band from his television gig:

Henry Gross, "Plug Me Into Something"

Henry Gross, "Show Me to the Stage"

Henry Gross, "What's In a Name?"

http://www.onehitwanderer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WHATS-IN-A-NAME.jpg

And Henry is carrying on the good work, this seems to be his latest album,

http://www.henrygross.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/OneHitWanderer.jpg

I posted a few of those here before but holy cow how did I miss "What's In A Name?" Nice job.

why is he pointing at his name in that last one, is that part of the joke somehow?

According to wiki his one hit was about a dead dog, so maybe he's pointing to heaven?

I think he is signifying "1 (one)"

Show Me To The Stage should not be overlooked.

He's trying to find a contact lens that popped out, what with it blurry and all.

He really missed a chance by not naming one of his albums "That's Gross", didn't he?

Gross Negligence - The B-Side Collection

("Shannon" is all time btw)

yeah it is so much more than a dead dog song. not something that points to a great multi-album career though. i used to own the s/t and it was utterly utterly forgettable except for the groovy lettering on the cover

Don't *think* we've had this one before, the only results I can find on the thread for "Buzzard" are dear old Tucky Buzzard.

Anyway:

Anyway, this is "You Always Know Where You Stand With a Buzzard" by Clive John, which I saw in the wild today.

OK, I admit did post that earlier in this thread but actually seeing it in the flesh sort of trumps that.
