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

That's actually the early '80s but it belongs in 1978.

I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life

Hmmmmm, I can't really see a Wet Willie or a Man or a Roger Miller going for that title tbh.

“Creepin’ into your private life” maybe

I can almost picture the cover.

‘Al Green Explores Your Mind’ veers in that direction.

Arlen Roth - Hot Pickups (1980)

Definitely one of the most boring sub-categories of this type of album cover is anything that directly references the fact that you are playing an instrument. It's like "there is absolutely nothing transcendent about this record, it's just a demonstration of me playing"

they get even sadder with distance. i'm assuming that at some point arlen roth had some kind of reputation, maybe praised amongst guitar folk, written about in magazines, so an album that's just "hey here he is playing guitar" might be like "shit yeaaaah I gotta get that." those days are now long gone, i fear.

Oh man, this is really sad.

Priceless footage of Danny Gatton tribute concert. Arlen Roth and his late daughter, Gillian, performing Suzie Q mixed with Day Tripper. Gillie had just turned 12. Arlen lost Gillian and her mother in a car accident in 1998, when Gillian was just 14.

Downer, man :((((

yeah, sorry to sad up the thread, but I felt bad for making fun of Arlen Roth after I read that. Plus he seems to play really nicely.

Alan Kelly, "Greatest Hits, Volume XI". He hasn't had any hits, DOYOUSEE?

Paul Barrere: On My Own Two Feet

(the sticker explaining who he is a nice touch)

The Guess Who - Guess Who's Back.
A minor classic in the 'back-related puns' sub-genre of Horrible 70s Album Titles.

Cliff Richard - I'm Nearly Famous

Cliff's had a few album titles that I would class as borderline Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do.

Alan Ross, "Are You Free On Saturday?"

Iain Matthews: Excerpts From Swine Lake

(This is a censored cover BTW...The original one features a woman swimming topless)

original cover is sick

From the 90s but undeniably horrible, Simon should be ashamed of himself. Non-UK ILXors won't get it though.

Simon Nicol, "Consonant Please Carol"

https://img.discogs.com/QFIRXDMEsXfgsi-E5COFUvbQaIQ=/fit-in/491x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4525603-1367360646-2826.jpeg.jpg

I preferred his follow-up album, "I'll have a P please, Bob"

Is that from a game show along the lines of Wheel of Fortune in the US?

I'll be shocked if there isn't a record called "I'd Like to Buy a Vowel"

Like Wheel of Fortune for the nerdy and socially inadequate.

I'll be shocked if there isn't a record called "I'd Like to Buy a Vowel"
