I believe that Lowell George is making a second appearance... which makes me wonder if anyone has done a record called "Seconds" with a picture of the artist at a dinner table by himself and a huge pile of food surrounded by empty plates.

I guess this is probably just poor English but...

There's something especially bad about food related ones. I'd like to see one called "Something I Ate Didn't Agree With Me" and it could be maybe a giant, monstrous fish fillet sandwich snarling menacingly at the artist.

I'd love to make some of these if just to start an "I've Got My Own Album Cover To Do" thread

Well, if we're moving into poor English (and food-related, sort of) I give you:

That is easily Lowell's third or fourth appearance with that cover, and I for one am always glad to see it come around.

waht does it mean?

It's the river bottom. Low-lying alluvial land situated along the banks of a river.

I've only heard it in the southern US.

Not 80s, but damn this hair needs to be celebrated somewhere.

For a second I thought that LP was on Zappa's Bizarre label.

what's going on with the collar on his shirt? I kind of want a shirt like that

IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Friday, 20 October 2017 16:49 (six years ago) link

nehru collar?

niels, Friday, 20 October 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link

yeah it's a nehru/mandarin collar.

new noise, Friday, 20 October 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link

Hope the inner sleeve has a from-above view of Ricky's hair, to provide the complete schematics of how it was engineered. I recall collarless dress shirts really coming into their own in the late-80s, usually accompanied by a tiny ponytail. Skaggs was out in front.

Is Michael Franks' one bad habit the little pinup in the locker there? What am I looking for here?

Also, I will be keeping my eyes out for a silk leopard scarf like the fella from Max Webster. That is tight.

Also also, figured out why Kip Addotta sounded so familiar to me. Dr. Demento.

I wonder what percentage of these album have title tracks?

(Raphael Ravenscroft "Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway" is an early Gerry Rafferty song from when he was in the Humblebums with Billy Connelly.)
