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

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"

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.

Was just thinking that a truly abysmal name for a record would be “Countdown to Poundtown”

(The front cover) The artist (with an expectant expression and prominent wristwatch) being led by the hand by a hot lady…(on the back cover) to an animal shelter with cute pets in cages; artist looks chagrined.

Cover photo: inside of a mud hut. Pith helmet-clad artist is sitting opposite an African woman dressed in traditional wedding garb. Scattered around him are various communication devices - semaphore flags, pad and pencil, Morse code machine. In his hand is a loudhailer. His companion is giving him a bemused, uncomprehending look.

Album title: My Wife Doesn't Understand Me

xp: gatefold is a fake £1 note with the artist's face in place of the queen's head.

Julian Clary makes early 90s album of duets, cover art of him climbing out of a giant trifle bowl, titled The Poof Is In The Pudding (produced by Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs)

Bluesmen Walter Washington & Walter Trout sit under a bridge, looking forlorn.

Title: "Bridge Over Troubled Walters"

Moe Bandy - This Is Actually My https://i.imgur.com/0Q4F3R6.jpeg Rodeo!!! (1976)

the cover art would look something like this, but with a trio of cowboys standing around laughing at an indignant Bandy
