Album titles named after the album format

The recent post on The Beatles Revolver got me thinking about other album titles that are either a word play on the music format of a record/tape/CD or directly mention that it's a album/cassette or CD in the title. Here are some examples:

Revolver -Beatles
In Square Circle - Stevie Wonder

 

George Harrison - 33 and 1/3

 

Faces-Long Player
Little Feat-The Last Record Album

 

Album by Public Image Ltd.

 

Sweet-Off the Record
ELO-A New World Record

 

Two Sides Of The Moon - Keith Moon

 

ZZ Top-ZZ Top's First Album
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts-Album
Yes-The Yes Album
Grand Funk-Live Album

 

Todd Rundgren-An Elpee's Worth of Productions
Rainbow-Final Vinyl

 

The Slim Shady LP
The Marshall Mathers LP

 

Bow Wow Wow Your Cassette Pet
and I know it's a single but: 'C·30 C·60 C·90 Go'

 

A triple play of media, all from the same duo:
The Cactus Al/Bum, The Cactus Cee/D and The Cactus Cas/Ette - 3rd Bass.

 

The Mason Williams Phonograph Record.

 

We have a winner! And the cassette was called Cassette and the CD was called Compact Disc. The 7" single for "Rise" was titled "Single", the 12" was called "12" Single" and the music video was called "Video".

It in turn is often thought to have been influenced by Flipper's Album – Generic Flipper, who in turn released an album called Public Flipper Limited Live 1980-1985.

I'm slightly biased on this as the Super Deluxe Edition is scheduled to arrive at my doorstep today.

 

Did Stevie do that on purpose to make a pun on an album (circle) in a record sleeve (square)?

 

Phil Spector's Christmas Album
Elvis Christmas Album.

 

My examples may be stretching the original concept a bit...

Yes - 90125 and Dave Davies - AFL1-3603 are both named after their catalog numbers.



Then there's The Partridge Family Album - which was a bit of a pun as the artwork made it look like a picture album:



The Records released "Music on Both Sides".


ABBA had "The Album" and Wilco had "Wilco (The Album)".

 

Wedding Album by John and Yoko

 

El Pea

 

Very similar to the generic packaging in Repo Man (1984):



Repo Man 1984 - Liquor Store Scene »

 

Another Monty Python Record
Tracks On Wax 4 - Dave Edmunds

 

Kansas' live DVD Device-Voice-Drums

...a bit lame though, plus the CD has the same title.

 

To my knowledge, the first album simply called "Album" was by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1966. A couple of years later, they made one called Album 1700, after the catalog number.

 

Gotta be one of the sleeves that I remember v well because of it's oddness...

'45s and Under' - Squeeze.

 

34:40 of John Fred and His Playboy Band.

 

Rainbow - Finyl Vinyl
