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

I don't get the reference on that Whole Burbank Catalog but the tracklist is kind of amazing

Ahh not familiar

Yeah, it was a staple of (post-)hippie culture; my dad had a bunch of editions on his shelf when I was growing up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Earth_Catalog

Maxwell Plumm ‎– We Can Work It Out

Detective - It Takes One To Know One

xpost I assume that's named for a cover of the Beatles song, which I admit is a pretty lame way to title your album. Looking them up, they apparently have one named.... "A Taste of Plumm."

I kind of doubt that they can work it out tbh, just based on the photo

We're Your Friends, Man

is that Johnny Carroll a private press? it's pretty great (as far as this thread goes obv)

not exactly a private press but on a tiny independent that only had about twenty releases. there was a follow up to that album, perhaps inevitably called 'Touch Me Again'...

Irish? Or Scottish?

brummie of unknown ancestory, assume it's mostly straight simian tbh

Orang O'Tan

now sold as a twofer "Touch Me Again/I'll Fuckin Kill Ya"

b/w Jeannie Sealy's "Don't Touch Me"

this is the rear of the first sylvester album (yes, that sylvester). does it mean what i think it means?

idgi(?)

(just putting that here because you would be the people to ask - i don't think it's horrible btw)

s.o.m.f. = sat on my face?

haha, is that a known abbreviation(?) what's that a photo/depiction of, anyway?

idgi either

amyl nitrate i guess

oh shit, that's not the first sylvester apparently. first one has versions of southern man and a whiter shade of pale on it, kind of want to hear that now

This is from Joshua Gamson’s Sylvester biography. Fwiw, he places it in the context of the growing acrimony between Sylvester and his band:

“Sylvester does not appear on the back of the Bazaar album cover. Instead, there are pictures of the band members, and beneath them their own cryptic inside joke: “Why is the Hot Band smiling? Because they have S.O.M.F.” (“S.O.M.F.” was Hot Band code for Sit on my Face.) On the front is a photo of Sylvester, with long flowing hair, turquoise Indian jewelry, and light makeup. He is not smiling.”

(I tried and failed to upload a photo of the book page with the quote)

ah thanks bc! so somf in the sense that they've taken advantage of sylvester perhaps? but then the amyl makes no sense

It does if “sit on my face” is in the context of eating ass though

i don't think so!

Picked up this Loss Leader yesterday...

Deep Ear

You really don't want to see the rest of the cover.

This cover art concept is great (if you get the reference); and the track list looks terrific: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Whole-Burbank-Catalog/master/321050

What’s the final song?!

I just got a copy of this one a few weeks ago and the answer is a stereo recording of a train going though a crossing.

groovy, lol... looks like a cool album to own, I may seek out a copy.

Is the waiter unashamedly checking out Freda Payne's ass on that cover?

I saw so many of these at the record store yesterday, not sure if any of them have cropped up here before but

Mark Farner Band "No Frills"

Grisso posted "No Frills" this past summer; I somehow failed to notice how much it reminded me of this exchange concerning Leo Sayer's "Endless Flight":

"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane

Passenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.

I feel like there might also be a bell-shaped tourist in an xxxl Hawaiian shirt, his gut spilling over the armrest onto Leo

...with an implausibly large sandwich, also spilling its guts.

Excellent.

ah thx, sorry for the repeat post! I was just flipping through the bins and saw it and lol'd

that's actually a good cover

epitomizes the "just rock 'n' rolling over here" ethos.

I like how he's using his guitar as a table/tray.
