I love how so many of these album covers seemed to have been the result of this conversation:
The Artist:"Man taking that album cover picture today! You think I should get dressed up?"
The Manager: "Nah, you look fine"
A: "Take a shower?"
M: "C'mon time is money! Oh, that should be the name of the record!"

the fact that .38 Special used Tour de Force as the title of a studio album was a waste of a pun

till yesterday was only familiar with 'bend it', but watched some of their beat club performances which are surprisingly heavy ('loos of england' aside)... great fuzz bass. tempted to investigate further now.

Yeah they were kind of like a twee version of the early Move stuff, some great basslines and a few really killer tunes.

Also check "Zabadak!" "Hold Tight" and their goofy chart-topper "The Legend of Xanadu." This 1967 EP release also seems thread-relatable:

I went and looked up the album that kicked off the whole thing - I've Got My Own Album To Do - and found the closing track was called Crotch Music. I had a listen and it's not what I expected at all, more like someone put the 70's in a blender, of if Battles collaborated with Edgar Winter.

Incidentally I heard Ronnie Wood was in an old man pub in Kildare with some hangers-on a couple of years ago and someone handed him a guitar and asked for a tune. He started singing and the barman came over and told him there was no singing allowed. "That's Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, you can't tell him to shut up". "I don't care if he's Daniel O'Donnell, he can't sing in here".
