Tom would write his name on his album covers in case he was ever invited to a party and wanted to bring his music with him. He need not have bothered. That's okay. Tom preferred drinking alone in his room anyway. #NowSpinning Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs And Ballads

Like the Velvet Underground of prog rock, they sold few albums but everyone who bought one started a band. Luckily most of these people got very stoned, misplaced their Minimoog Model D synthesisers and forgot the idea entirely. #NowSpinning Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He Who am the Only One

An LP I found at a thrift store with four clowns holding a bass drum that says "I can do anything" on the cover. Anything is underlined. Someone wrote their name on the  album but crossed it out - perhaps due to shame.
