Really, isn't Sheik Yerbouti an appropriate-as-hell album title ??? This was in the era of Shah of Iran as well... i remember a neighbor coming home from months of construction work in the Middle East with a gift tin of Shah Pistachios. Relevant, i propose.

Thinking about this thread and the Roxy one re. album covers is fun. The latter seem like the greatest visionaries ever because jesus, the gems in here.

Even though it is from '69, I'd think Colosseum's 'Those Who Are About to Die Salute You' might fit in here but then it may have also inspired AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock, We Salute You."
