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.

from the side he kind of looks like severely compressed burt reynolds

his hair is stunning what a work of art

I wasn't aware until just this minute that the debut album by Pilot is titled From the Album of the Same Name.

Whoops, looks like Tom D. got to that Hummingbird album two years ago. This thread is getting huge.

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

andrew m., Wednesday, 8 November 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link

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

andrew m., Wednesday, 8 November 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link

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

andrew m., Wednesday, 8 November 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link

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.)

Art Garfunkel - Fate for Breakfast

Never been able to decide whether he's making a gun shape with his hand on that sleeve.

Sucking fate from his fingers I think

per wiki: "The album was issued in five different sleeves, each with a different shot of Art Garfunkel at the breakfast table."

This isn't really a horrible album title I just like the idea of a guy in a leather jacket living in a cave somewhere with his guitar and amps and spare set of sneakers with a calendar on the wall to tell him when he must next descend the mountain to bring rock and roll to the distrustful villagers, also Malcolm Tomlinson is such an un-rock 'n' roll name.

Malcolm Tomlinson, "Rock and Roll Hermit".

I happened to see a bunch of Pure Prairie League LPs at a thrift store over the weekend. They had a long string of these: "Bustin' Out," "If The Shoe Fits", "Takin' The Stage," "Just Fly"...

Came a cross these two Richard Harris' LPs in the wild yesterday. Don't remember seeing them here.
