Just mentioned on the debut albums thread, from 1971:
Gerry Rafferty - Can I Get My Money Back?

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?

i snagged it btw, and having finally got a replacement belt for my replacement turntable, i'm giving it a spin, and, two tracks in, i feel comfortable saying he did, indeed, have his own album to do.

Free Beer - Nouveau Chapeau (1977)
Unfortunately:
When Elvis died in 1977, RCA let many acts go, choosing instead to focus on repackaging 'The King'. The members of 'FREE BEER' decided to pack it in but have remained friends and in touch and continue to pursue performing and songwriting careers. However, recent interest in the band has motivated this site, and who knows what else?

Psych bands should arguably be excluded from the thread as I think the intention of the cornball titles was meaningfully different - but still:

dunno why but i have this feeling Stuff are probably better than most of the bands in this thread, can anyone confirm?
(to wit, have been listening to and enjoying Lighthouse's One Fine Morning, the dollar purchase of which prompted the above posts. it's not bad if you're in the mood for some very optimistic and kinda corny/borderline bubblegum sentiment from your psych-ish rock bands. title track is solid, and there's a great dumb melodramatic number about families on the california gold rush.)
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 25 May 2015 17:21 (nine years ago) link
Kinda liking the Stuff It! cover - the frazzled hair, the way her white shorts make her top half look disembodied, the fact that "Stuff" in concentric circles is apparently their logo.

Is there supposed to be some kind of a pun here, based on the adjective and noun meaning of "potty"? Shouldn't the guy be sitting on a potty then?

I thought "potty" meant "quirky" in English-as-spoken-in-England.
