“The earlier version with boys and the later version with men pretending to be girls.”
I worked a lot this weekend on adding some new AlbumTalk posts to the series- so every day this week a new one will be posted!
And it is often pointed out to me, that I don’t ‘make fun’ of albums from more current times; usually I comment on ones from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s…so I went looking for something familiar and came up with these. This might be a good time to add the ultimate irony;I actually never owned an album. My parents had albums and I had a radio with a tape deck. The first tape I owned? Shawn Cassidy. And I can STILL SEE the case on it. I stared into it while listening to every song.(He was singing to just me you know) So even albums that SHOULD be familiar to ‘someone of my age’, just aren’t.
Which is a fortunate thing…because I can see the comedy in them much easier that way.
Is anyone surprised at the amateur snapshot look of the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits cover? I mean this wasn’t their first self produced cover…this was their GREATEST HITS…it looks like the poor guy on the left bottom just gave them his drivers license picture to use. And Poison? Could you be ANY GAYER? I am still stunned girls ever thought this look was hot.
So come back every day this week to see some pretty funny AlbumTalks for your personal Hi-Fi enjoyment! (along with all the other silliness found here at The Association daily)

LOL! Poison looks completely GAY! What were we thinking?!
I forget how ridiculous some of the big hair bands looked back then. And to think I thought they were cute! Further proof of the mush mindedness of teenage girls (at least this one).
The bottom two shots on the BCR cover:
Narrow mouth . . . wide mouth . . . narrow mouth . . . wide mouth . . .
It’s like a before and after ad for that face exerciser video.
Poison continues to give me hives.
