Album Covers with Gratuitous Punctuation

[Spontooneous]

[BillF]

Truly gratuitous!

[jeffcrom]

Okay, I'm not into all the album cover threads as much as a lot of the folks here, but this one spoke to me right away.

This is actually a pretty good album, but lordy, the punctuation! Besides the semi-ridiculous contraction of "New Orleans," it has an arbitrary comma and an example of the dreaded extraneous plural apostrophe.

Spontooneous, I couldn't see your last two images.

[Hot Ptah]

I "could not" see Spontooneous' last, "two images" either. I note that they, are "from" LP Cover Lover. I, think, that images taken "from" that site are, generally, not "visible".

I guess they spent so much on graphic design that they couldn't afford a proofreader.

Love that N'Orleans cover, Jeff! My favorite detail is "Battle Hymn-Republic." But they blew the opportunity for "Closer Walk w/Thee" and "My Hat, Cane."

I'll try to fix those two missing images in a bit.

Man, Jeff, that is an amazing cover! I would love to have that in my collection.

[Spontooneous]

Ok, let's try it this way...

I've always thought that someone should make an album called "Gerundin'."

On Ebay even as we speak.

[clifford_thornton]

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it... even though checking my eBay spending totals for the last 60 days brought me back to Earth. Whoops.

As a friend in Boston pointed out years ago, the obvious one missing from the gerund series was "Fuckin' With the Miles Davis Quintet."
