Twistin 25th Nov 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Cowsills - Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools (1968) | Mr. Blaze said: "But my question remains why was it left off the album?"
Probably to save it for their The Best of the Cowsills compilation, released mere months after this LP (and just in time for the Christmas shopping season!) Makes good marketing sense, anchoring their greatest hits with a track not on any other LP at that time.

Twistin 26th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBachman-Turner Overdrive - Best Of B.T.O. (So Far) (1976) | Randy & Fred couldn't have been happy about that back cover live pic -- talk about fashion emergency! What were they thinking in the dressing room before walking out onstage in those threads?

Twistin 3rd Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Super Dupers - The Super Duper Record Of Super Heroes (1966) | WOW! That's interesting to know.
I borrowed this album from a neighbor kid back in the day and just loved it more than even he did. Lost all memory of it until a number of years ago when my repressed memory spit up one of the goofy lyrics, leaving me with the difficult task of finding this record I had almost no other memory of to search with. (In this case, that one other memory was the red label with the letter D logo.) Finally found and bought it online, still pleases my eardrums after all those years.
And now that I think about it, that MUST be Russell singing "Captain Marvel Jones"! Too funny. "Shazam, y'all!"

Twistin 4th May 2019 | | Vinyl Album1910 Fruitgum Co. - Indian Giver (1969) | The outfits, cigars, squaw, etc. are satirizing Native American Indian pop culture, not unlike the way the genre (bubblegum) satirizes pop music conventions. The genre was so intentionally and unashamedly contrived, few in the industry got the joke and dismissed it at face value.
The same can be said for the jacket artwork which in no way is 'depicting' Native Americans; it's just an innocent play on the title slang term. Likewise, Yogi Bear does not attempt to depict actual bears. The term PC is another way of saying hyper-sensitive. In 1969, people were not seeking reasons to be offended.
This was not an attack on the previous two observations, just on the idea of modern audiences re-imagining this record through their own misguided prism.

Twistin 16th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumLou Reed - Metal Machine Music (1975) | I sure have, many times. I even made a vinyl rip -- and declicked it!
Mind you, I don't play it at parties...
