Awesome how he pushed aside his blues name to go for the big pun on the album title. Plus 1 for looking like he's doing the Clinton thumb-fist gesture there in 1994.

It’s funny because Urban Renewal destroyed Maxwell Street, one of America’s blues crucibles.

+1 for Meet Their Maker being good - esp if those are their real moms, which I assume they are

A.C. Reed one is top notch.

yeah that's great. especially with how the motion blur on the sax does not make it look at all like it's headed for the trash can.

Right, it is overshooting.

I'm looking at the back cover and trying to read the liner notes to see if I'm missing some clue as to what business would be more appropriate for Mr. Reed.

Some of the other professions he wishes he’d chosen are being Mr. T or driving a truck.

Feel sure there should be some decent Australian contributions to this thread, but all I can think of offhand is veteran rocker Ross Wilson’s ‘Dark Side of the Man’

1978 UK 10-track vinyl LP, a bizarre benefit album by Michael Cassidy and Jeffrey Armstrong, drawing on influences as diverse as Neil Diamond and Alice Coltrane, well worth getting for 'Protoplasmic Crud' alone!.

Flaky Pastry - Ingredients

‘The Ingredients’ would have been a perfectly serviceable band name tho. they could have used “Flaky Pastry” as a B-side song title.

OK, so "Busy Making Progress" is some kind of Hare Krishna thing? Which I assume they gave out for free, or next to nothing, hence why it's so commonly found in bargain bins? Like this one:

it's exactly the same guy that was behind that one - michael cassidy. i did actually take a punt on one that years ago due to a shoutout to john fahey on the back! i don't remember enjoying it much though

hah god thought that Bruce Woodley cover was even more scandalous for a second - took me a moment to work out what body section i was seeing

meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Monday, 26 September 2022 04:43 (one year ago) link

Feel like this is probably in the zone re naff visual concept - Francis Butler - There Is No Escape - from memory this is a non-terrible LP!
