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

And following on from the Yawnsomely Literal thread. The High Level Ranters, "Gateshead Revisited" (a joke for Britishes).

"Golden Grates" is beautiful

The Roaring Jelly guys look like the Bee Gees in disguise.

LOL, I see what you mean!

My mum used to work with one of the High Level Ranters

The cover is even more literal as the bridge pictured is called the High Level Bridge (it's briefly featured in Get Carter)

Have we had this one?

Ray Manzarek - 'The Whole Thing Started With Rock & Roll Now It's Out Of Control'

should've called it "When God Closes A Door..."

― Animal Bitrate (Raw Patrick)

The exclamation point in lieu of a question mark is what makes it

Ray Manzarek - 'The Whole Thing Started With Rock & Roll Now It's Out Of Control'

lock thread imo

had a dream last night that featured an album called 'guitars don't bite... but my bass player does'

I'd buy it.

the icing on the Manzarek album title is that it's all in one line
it'd look like a vague attempt at being clever if the first half was above the image and the second half below

Sugar Creek: Please Tell A Friend

Holy Shit, two of the Sugar Creek guys were Jonathan Edwards and Joe Dolce.

Yes, That Joe Dolce.

that Maxfield Parrish title is a really awkward mouthful. apparently Bernie Leadon, future Eagle, plays on that record.

Blimey.

Faith Band, "Excuse Me... I Just Cut an Album" (1977)

https://live.staticflickr.com/4098/4757206793_3814bc2033_b.jpg

Excuse me, I just cut the cheese

Indianapolis band represent.

Faith Band aren't bad, in a Steely Dan for beginners kind of way. Discogs tells me their drummer went on to run Ticketmaster, boo.

sorry but they are bad

wow that one is REALLY close to the Wood original, almost wish it had been the title of his followup record

listening to the Sugar Creek record on YouTube, it's really great!

The lack of space after the ellipsis is so jarring to me.

Also this is stellar thread content.

(xp) OTM, it pains me to look at it

why are they in a flying car? why has the car got teeth? so many questions. is the title a pun i'm missing?

why are they in a flying car? why has the car got teeth? so many questions. is the title a pun i'm missing?

the only thing I think of is people used to say "cut a fart"

wtaf?

what the ass fuck?

according to the, er, back side it contains country music, baroque, rock, pop, ballads, folk and a lullaby. good music of many times and places!

Crooked Rafferty, Crooked Rafferty

Damn Hadrian, that was what I was thinking too, it's uncanny!

wow there is a lot going on with that Malcolm Price cover

brainz are weird

was shep woolley the uk's answer to sheb wooley?

Maybe it was the other way round.

sheb was around well before shep.

Ashton, Gardner & Dyke: What A Bloody Long Day It's Been

What’s that in the bottom right?

A thumb.

Uh, yeah so it is. It’s like one of those optical illusions which become obvious when explained.

the thumb makes more sense on the original cover
