ITT pitch your concepts for horrible '70s album titles/covers in the style of I've Got My Own Album To Do

Album cover would've been three jigsaw puzzle pieces, with candies on them.

Derrick New - Out With the Old...

Cover is a very elderly man walking through a door marked “OUT” and the artist walking through one marked “IN”

James Archibald - Self Driving Car

cover is a selfie of the artist driving a car

Had an idea for an updated version of this concept. Record is called “Guitarists HATE Him”

Aging UK DJ puts out record called "Bangers 'n' Mashups" - cover is bangers and mash plated on a vinyl record

actually that one would be perfect for DJ Food

well done

Winner

Robin Zander solo record - '...with this one weird trick'

lol @ Robert Culp

an extra horrible one came to me tonight -- the cover is a paycheck resting on a scale that is going down a playground slide, and the title is "Pay on a Sliding Scale"

Status Quo/Spinal Tap rockers Rusty Spanner - Kicked in the Crotchet.

The Hipgnosis cover involves semi nude possibly underaged model fighting back against medallion-clad Peter Grant resembling sleazy attacker wearing musical note spangled trousers. Too hot to stock on American shelves so replaced with typographical cover in a blackletter typefece. Band is too minor for label to bother renaming it to wordplay Americans would find meaningful, leaving heshers to ponder if it has something to do with yarn.

Clearly Brian Setzer needs to take advantage of this cultural moment and release an album called "Hard Setzer"

This thread is causing me fits of uncontrollable laughter.

although totally just a result of laziness and not thought out in advance, I like that Dewey Redman is red.

One Love is really getting me on revisiting

what about an album of David Crosby covers played on xylophones etc entitled 'If I Could Only Marimba My Name'

irl lol

Timpani High (About 3am)

hahaha

Cover shot is Crosby wandering through the desert, a soft mallet in either hand.

Earl Klugh Trio - Klughless

Cover is just the other two members of the trio. So are the tracks.

I missed this the first time around. Underrated.

A covers record, obv

brilliant

Ages ago I imagined a parallel universe John McLaughlin stooping not quite to 'McLaughin' (not even possible in parallel worlds) but rather to 'Aughlin a Laugh'.

McLivlin, McLaughlin, McLovlin

Band is called E.V.O.O.

Album is “Extra Virgin Killer” - bottle of olive oil on black background.

A Flair for the Dramatic

The cover is a hot alt model who is wearing a fake beard and mustache, to resemble William Shakespeare. But rather than Elizabethan garb, she's in a TGI Fridays-style waitress uniform with lots of buttons (a la Jennifer Aniston in Office Space).

Lester and Jack Eyvil - The Lester of Two Eyvils

The Ombudsmen - Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

He should make a record called Losing Bonamassa. Cover is him getting calcium pills from a doctor.

The Doors - Don't Let Us Hit You in the Ass

Lol. Aging Jim Morrison would have been a goldmine for these I bet.

The spoken-word album that discusses and evaluates a certain Louvin Brothers record, by the singer of "Kiss From A Rose."

Ratin' Is Seal

I’m pleased to announce my forthcoming acoustic flatpicking record “Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Strings”

A Robert Plant album with the title Industry Plant in block red letters across the top. In the center of the frame is a huge fern, with a mic stand & guitar propped in front it. The fern is surrounded by several figures, all costumed in exaggerated style, and whose sight-lines lead to where the fern's "eyes" would be: (a) to the left, a sleazy label type (portrayed by Plant himself), chomping on a cigar and thrusting out a contract & pen; (b) to the right, a "dealer" with a huge baggie of white powder in one hand and an oversized spoon in the other; and (c) crouching lower in the frame, a "groupie" type, gazing up lovingly.
