I cottoned on to this a while ago but kept forgetting to post.

I'd give the Johnny Thunders one bonus points if it turned it wasn't even a covers collection.

My parents owned a copy of the Brooker record. Title song was a holiday mixtape staple. Still love the keyboard lead on that one

sure we've had this one...

That one belongs more to the "Horrible pun titles based on the artist's name" thread, no?

Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

it does indeed, but seems like this thread has become catch-all for these

I dunno, the other thread was last updated yesterday.

Not an album, but singer-songwriter Todd Snider's memoir:

A modern example courtesy of a Ned retweet:

Sorry, dude, but this was a very bad idea and it is going to rebound on you in a really ugly way. (Especially since your album is coming out in November.) If there's still time to scrap this title and cover, DO IT. pic.twitter.com/mjliBcafst

I'd rather hear their moms play!

yeah the back cover is so much better

The guy hiding under the seat is a nice touch.

back cover gives me a pod people recording session vibe

Renee Geyer Band - Ready To Deal

that's for Album Covers featuring Yawnsomely Literal Cover Art in regards to said album's title. if anything, except that it rules

Never heard of her -- had to check out her Wiki, that cover's so cool

is this [burrrp!] yr cards? no? hang on...

it's a real grey area between these threads I tell ya (xxxposts)

Horrible titles are usually more than three words

I enjoy seeing these old albums (and I’m grateful they’re posted here); but sometimes I get the sense from these threads that this is ILM’s platonic ideal of an album cover & title:

Roger Salloom: Would You Like To Meet Someone

grisso on fire!

lol looks like a guy going to join a cult

XP Naw, just window shopping vinyl on Reverb & eBay.

So, often when I look up the unknown-to-me artists that appear on this thread, like Bill up there, Discogs reveals

https://www.discogs.com/Bill-The-Bills-Bills-Bills-Bills/release/3338706

...it's a Canadian release. Is it the selection bias of my ignorance or might Canada have produced a higher proportion of these sorts records?

Simple explanation is that Canada is the only country where the creation of these sorts of albums were subsidised by the government.
