How could I forget, G's.


I always like the EMI Jazz double albums with the high gloss finish. They came in handy for separating seeds. I had a Deodato LP used for that sole purpose.

sticky fingers and who's next were good ones

[chickenhead]

some I liked

p.s. don't talk smack about the swamp dogg.

[RaceBookJoe]

Molly Hatchet and Iron Maiden always had cool album covers.

[DJofSD]

Tower Records used to display original art akin to cover art. Damn I miss those stores.

Stones, Beatles, Floyd and even the Herb Albert albums are in my collection. I don't recognize the very first one -- Santana?

Uh huh, LP was Abraxas. Beneath that is King Crimson.

Chick - No smack on the music of Swamp Dogg. His cover art has been more often than not, ill-conceived.

The Scorpions Lovedrive comes to mind, as well as several Ohio Players albums from the 70s.

Bobbi Flekman: You put a *greased naked woman* on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?

Ian Faith: This is *1982*, Bobbi, c'mon!

Bobbi Flekman: That's *right*, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore.

Ian Faith: Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me.

Eumir Deodato is married to my wife's cousin. Brasilian connection.

"Is she hot, Herr Doktor ?"

Gotta love the Tap!

Molly Hatchet and Iron Maiden always had cool album covers.

threadjack...Mollly hatchet did an awesome cover of the Allman Bros. song Dreams
Iron Maiden was the warmup band for the loudest concert I ever attended when the warmed up for Judas Priest on Point of Entry tour.(JP's masterpiece) They had just released Ratschild. good stuff.

[RaceBookJoe]

Another coolalbum cover was on a WASP ep. The ep was on white vinyl entitle "Animal F**K Like A Beast". The cover showed a crotch shot with a buzz saw going through, kindy bloody. If I can find a pic online i will try to link it. rbj

[rufus999]

The Blind Faith album cover released in europe.:cool:

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I actually saw Red Foxx perform that "You gotta wash your ass" routine. Pretty bad. Nipsy Russell was the opening act, and he was much funnier.

I think I was walking through the MGM, and I saw Redd playing small stakes poker, so I sat in. This must have been 20 years ago. He was addicted to keno. He said he hit the big one the first two times he ever played, and he's been playing ever since.

He probably had to do his act to pay off his markers.

I know NUTH-THINK of post-1975(?) rock, but I heard a live version of Free Bird( :sleeping: ) that was actually decent. The perpetrators ? Molly Hatchet. :ThmbUp:

[BombsAway Bob]

Just Ralph: OK, OK...Herb & Jerry will invite you to their box @ Del Mar!
Big Mack: Little Feat's "Waiting For Columbus" was my separator of choice!
I'll never forget, my Dad worked the 11-7 graveyard shift @ Foster Grant,
& his coworker & him were quaffing a few cold ones in the kitchen @9AM.
Gary asked him if he'd ever heard "Dixie Chicken". My dad said, "Bob has
that album!" In my hangover fog I see Dad grab my LP, & walk into the
kitchen with my "cleaner"...there must have been 1,000 seeds in it...plop,
plop, plop, hitting the floor behind him as he walked with the album
Gary was cracking up!...Funny.....NOW!:eek:

[michiken]

They had just released Ratschild. good stuff. I can surely understand 'Ratschild', but the real name of the song is Wrathchild (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsO7H23MTQ)

Big Mack: Little Feat's "Waiting For Columbus" was my separator of choice!
The circumstances are vague but I was able to catch Lowell George on his "Thanks I'll Eat It Here" tour (great LP, by the way) in Hartford CT shortly before his passing.

Heck of a songwriter, Lowell was.

Slide guitar/sax work on Mercenary Territory is of note from Waiting for Columbus.

Belated correction, please, Sirmack. CTI was the label, not EMI. Jeez. :rolleyes:

Gotta go, my alphabet soup is cooling as we type. Ines is serving me straight from the can. Some talk of :6: :9: later, too.

Correction for me as well Senor Toes. All this time I ASSumed, as you, my cacographic hombre, that it was EMI. How confused can two birdbrains get?

:9::6: - As she longs for a drift in position.
