Flaky Pastry - Ingredients

(perennial quid bin lurker 'busy making progress' also visible in that picture, has anyone ever actually bought that thing? any good tracks?)

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’

(not seventies, but definitely horrible)

Pretty sure Skyhooks have made an appearance or two.

Make your own mind up! Sorry for full album link, seems to be all there is.

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!.

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

Feel sure there should be some decent Australian contributions to this thread

well, there are these...

bruce woodley - just good friends
buffalo - only want you for your body

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

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!

Given their 70s (disco) influences, we can safely assume Phats & Small named their album Now Phats What I Small Music as a homage to 70s album titles

Pilot’s From the Album of the Same Name.

I like that title... and, indeed, that album.

It’s a wonderful album, I go back to it often. :)

David Liebman - Light'n Up, Please!

https://highfidelityla.com/covers/big/R-1763291-1302965761.jpeg

Is that the same dude who played with Miles?

And, wait, is that Pee Wee Ellis?

Yes that's Pee Wee Ellis! David Liebman is a flute player though iirc, don't think he played with Miles

He's on *Get Up With It*!

https://www.milesdavis.com/person/dave-liebman/

Oh wow, I had no idea! Maybe I should've bought the record? Two quid, possibly worth a punt

There's a track on there called "The Fonz's Strut". Well worth 2 quid I'd say.

Dave Liebman knew how to live.

On The Corner and Dark Magus too

... it also has vocals by Leon Thomas!

(xxp)

Just spotted that Leon Thomas sings on a couple of tracks on that, damn

oops xp!

The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated, "Dave Liebman plunges headlong into funk in the wake of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters, but his heart doesn't seem to be in it. At times, he sounds bored playing R&B riffs that he seemed to have outgrown at the time, lapsing into free jazz flurries in an effort to stay interested, and the rhythm section is leaden."[4]

When your heart's not in the funk, you get lead.

Richard S. Ginell, light'n up please!

For the record, Liebman's *Lookout Farm* record is ace (on ECM).

Lana Del Rey: Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd

I'm sick to death of sleeves like these

With all the credits in the front? I think it’s kind of cool… is it a recent trend? (The only similar example that comes to mind is Midnights, with the song titles on the cover.)
