"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane

Passenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.

I feel like there might also be a bell-shaped tourist in an xxxl Hawaiian shirt, his gut spilling over the armrest onto Leo

Was kinda thinking, after the Joan upthread, that it'd be cool to assemble a record collection entirely of 70s albums where the artist is in front of a blue sky background.
It's like the record company bussed all these artists to the mall have their pictures taken in front of that backdrop.

The track titles spell out 'music always brings goodness to us all, p.s. unless one has some other motive for its use.'

Got so close to "Cherry I'm Lloyd!"
Actually would be cool if the album title was "All You Have Is Your Soul" and it was a split release by Cher Lloyd and Sorry I'm Late...

I feel like the most horrible '70s-style album title in semi-recent memory is Modest Mouse's Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Can't believe that no-one ever used it before (at least afaict), so I think if I ever made an album in the 70s, i would horribly title it Hot Dogs In Di's Car. Need to think about which terrible visual pun to go with for the cover art though.

Even though this one's from 2000, I think the punny title matches the spirit of this thread.
