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

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
