I remember the White Album original cover was like a trippy drawing. Sorta like The Beach Boys‘ Endless Summer album. I thought it looked cool.No, its a "recreation" of the original art which is hard to find on the net.

Best or worst?
Sorry, the Yesterday and Today original cover was the one I was thinking of:I remember the White Album original cover was like a trippy drawing. Sorta like The Beach Boys‘ Endless Summer album. I thought it looked cool.
That's right up there with Decade of Decadence.Intensities in Ten Cities

Happy this is now straight.Sorry, the Yesterday and Today original cover was the one I was thinking of:
It's an interesting one because it is neither, yet it is both a good and clever title, yet a really trite attempt at word play. It's one of those titles that can be either a brilliant one or a lame one, depending on one's mood.Intensities in Ten Cities

Dave Hill will take any publicity he can get... I read he's still out there, pretending to be Slade.We'd forgive you. The bats might not !
I wonder how those die hard Slade fans would feel about that. I'd not heard of that title but it's a good one.
Good title though. Family beat them to it and I have to say, the album is even better than the title.
Perhaps no choice? In a way I kind of feel sorry for him. When you are a star of the group but do not write the songs, your money ends the day the public fancy something else.Dave Hill will take any publicity he can get... I read he's still out there, pretending to be Slade.
he was one of the stars of the band, but Noddy Holder was always the main man in pretty much most peoples' minds. His was the voice, his was the presence and he co~wrote most of the songs. I'd bet that if you said "Slade" to most people that were kids and teens at the time of their heyday, the first image that would come into the mind would be Noddy rather than Dave.In a way I kind of feel sorry for him.

Ah yes, for all of us that were one of Maggie's 3 million at some point, that is a most apt album title. I think it's one of the greats but it's so very "early 80s British."UB40 with 'Signing Off' ............ You had to be there at the time to understand. Very apt.
But thats the point. It wasnt her fault. The economic strife was caused by the previous crowd. A point always glossed over because she was easy to blame and not a likable person.he was one of the stars of the band, but Noddy Holder was always the main man in pretty much most peoples' minds.

That said, we all loved Dave even if we thought he looked like Dylan from "The Magic Roundabout."View attachment 109457

Most of the time long titles are just an irritation but there are two I really like. One is Tyrannosaurus Rex's debut, "My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows" ~ I've always dug that one. I actually have used that as the opening lines of a lyric for a song of mine called "Left unspoken." The album cover for it is also glorious.Actually Apple's 2nd album was titled "When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right".
That's a mouthful!
I never said it was. But she was PM when it reached that total, hence the phrase "Maggie's 3 million." It's a fact of history, not an apportioning of blame.But thats the point. It wasnt her fault
He was the heart throb {and Don Powell} ~ it's hard to imagine 9~13 year olds of any era getting wet about Noddy Holder. But Slade did have a fan base that went beyond teenybop girls.Regards Dave. I think there was a quote something like...."You write em and I'll sell em"........ credited to him. Which is kind of true in a way as Slade were kind of a teeny band as well and it may be hard to believe today but he was the heart throb.

That said, there's often been a trade off between inflation and unemployment and the first Thatcher govt had a monomania about getting inflation down and saw the high unemployment as worth it to achieve their aim. Different opinions will always rage about the merits of that ~ it depends on which side of the bank one found oneself during it.
True he was more like a screaming farmer with those bushy sideburns than a rock star. Saying that they were quite a good rock band but never got the credit for it and will be forever 'Glamrock'.He was the heart throb {and Don Powell} ~ it's hard to imagine 9~13 year olds of any era getting wet about Noddy Holder.

I always liked that title. About 30 years after I heard it, I read that it was a play on the phrase "Come over [to] my house."Sparks ..... 'Kimono My House'.
Same here. I can't say I was ever on a downer not having a job.At times I had a lot of fun not working
Good comparison. I can see him in wellies milking a few cows and mucking out a stable or two !True he was more like a screaming farmer with those bushy sideburns than a rock star
I thought they were one of the best outfits of the 70s. They could rock heavy and hard and yet had a wonderful melodic flair and knew how to write songs that were just the right length, had just the right dexterity and were eternally memorable.Saying that they were quite a good rock band but never got the credit for it and will be forever 'Glamrock'
The first single I ever owned was "Blockbuster" by them. They were a heavy rock band at heart but were "persuaded to join" rather than jumped on the glam rock bandwagon. I saw this documentary some years ago on the 70s and this woman was comparing them to David Bowie and Marc Bolan. She said that they were so pretty and fey in their make up and glitter but the Sweet were like hod carriers ! I always laugh at that one.Sweet were very similar. Chinn & Chapman all the way but could certainly rock with the best of them at that time.
