Xp Or maybe it was just its use in Dr Strangelove that inspired them to close the album with it.

^^In the liner notes to the album there's a dedication to Kubrick, so yeah.

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).
― Root It Oot (Tom D.), Friday, 12 December 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

feel like there should be a top ten groan-worthy titles. That one and the Caravan would make my list.

Of course, 'Acquiring the Taste' is not in and of itself an outright horrible title, but when coupled a cover depicting the thinnest of thinly veiled allusions to salad tossing it adds up to a true prog grossout as only could have been produced in the 70s.

The album cover has some innuendo in that it is made to look like a tongue licking an anus. However, when opened completely, it is actually a tongue licking a peach.

Gentle Giant's album concepts improved remarkably when they moved on from peach licking to extremely mundane stuff like "whatever happened to our buddies in school?" and "what if we did a whole album about interviews?" Plus the great Watergate record & the failed relationships record.
x-post --- I was trying and failing to post a pic of Stiller & Meara's comedy album with the title "Laugh When You Want." Are they saying we can play this "comedy album" anytime we want? An adventure like this is unheard of in the 20th century.
