Only 500 people ever bought the Hot Poop record, but . . . OK, 200 people, but you know . . . Ah, who am I trying to kid, only 35 of these were sold, all to their friends/family, and they didn't go on to do anything of note.

The album cover was my concept. I'm surprised that more people don't get the front cover. It seems rather simple. Hot poop, poop also meaning crap. So Larry's taking a crap, it's being carried over to the others by Jim, Lisa is heating it up (cooking it) in a spoon, I'm shooting it up (doing it) and Bruce is passed out. Hot Poop, doing their own stuff (shit). The photograph was taken in an empty building in Isla Vista. The building actually had no front on it but the photographer drew in the front window shadow to give the allusion that it was a complete building with four sides. The back cover concept I came up with in it's entirety. I wanted us standing in a field of donkeys (I get donkeys and mules mixed up. I said a field of donkeys but I meant a field of mules) with two pictures, one clothed and the other with switched genitalia. In one more amazing Hot Poop moment I stumbled on a field of donkeys/mules almost the second I came up with the idea. We got the photographer and drove out there. The mules were nice enough to crowd around us for the pictures. As we were wrapping it up a helicopter started flying over as I think the land belonged to Union Oil.

Review on RYM:
Hot Poop Does Their Own Stuff. Why? 'Cause nobody else would dare! This private pressing is so brain numbingly strange that it's almost impossible not to like it! Frenzied falsetto vocals, omnipresent fuzz, and deranged subject matter (with such songs as "Wing Wang", "Screamin'", "I Always Play With My Food", and the eerie "My Baby's Dead") make for an album that cannot be comprehended by a sober mind! This is what happens when hippies forsake LSD for nitrous oxide!

This shows how the ideal horrible album title had changed from the 70s to the 90s.

I've been tempted to start a "Horrible '90s album titles like Fush Yu Mang" thread, but enough of that gets covered here too.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 00:49 (one year ago) link
In the 80s, no-one wanted to be silly so they gave albums horrible titles like Journeys to Glory.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 00:51 (one year ago) link
The covers of "Stunt," "Born on a Pirate Ship" and "Maroon" aren't bad. The covers of "Gordon" and "Silverball," on the other hand, are dreadful.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 00:53 (one year ago) link
I beg to differ. Stunt is especially ugly in that 90s alterna way
