I've never heard it.  In fact, I've never heard of that group.  Yet I knew exactly which album cover was being recalled (assuming that is the album cover he meant).

Its the sort of thing that sticks with you as you're flipping through the albums at the record store on your way to Blind Melon or something.

Yeah that was definitely in my dad's collection.  I listened to it, and it didn't sound anything like the other music my dad likes.

It's funny looking back on the time when Rock and Roll was treated as something Serious, and not just a bit tongue-in-cheek pop art experiment.

Ever hear of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker or Rick Gretch?

Ok, maybe not Rick Gretch...

I'm second wombat's comment -- the actual content of this strip doesn't resonate for me, but the perfect e-mail concept does. Go figure.

Does this mini-arc basically confirm that Teodor is Onstad's alter ego? I mean, if it needed confirming.

To the horror (no doubt) of many an afficianado of quality blues-rock, everything I know about Steve Winwood can be summed up in three words...'Roll With it'.

My parents had "Whipped Creme and Other Delights."  Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. 

I could never figure out why they would have had an album with such a dirty picture on the front.

Onstad knew it was my birthday so he delivered his best strip in Months.

Where is your tiny slice of cake, Paul?

[wombat]

Onstad might have known about it, but how were we supposed to when you're not on the calendar, Paul?

I am nostalgic for old record cover art, but I am more nostalgic for the non-plastic surgerized boobs themselves.  Remember that?  Remember when boobs in entertainment were like, real boobs?  Now all entertainment boobs are the same set of boobs on different faces.  There was something so much more salacious/hot/dirty about seeing a boob back then - you never knew what you were going to see, you know?  It was always a nice surprise.  Now a days it's the same perfect globes, symmetrical, centered nipple and smallish areola - there's no surprise.  That's what you get.  If a lady is exposing her boobs in entertainment now you are getting the same boob everytime because they've all been purchased.  What happened to little cute perky tits?  Where are the slightly-floppy-in-a-sexy way tits?   The they're-sort-of-ugly-but-she's-clearly-proud-of-em-to-be-showing-em-off-like-that-and-that-makes-em-hot tits? 

This is an open message to real tits: We'd like to see you.  We miss you.  Wherever you are, please come home.

While "Blind Faith" is a great great album, I don't know if that particular lady counts as a hot album cover naked lady. She's... scrawny and weird-lookin' and... ambiguously jail-baity. I guess that was the British style at the time but it always kinda freaked me out.

She looks, like, fifteen.

[theinevitable]

oh, shit, is that seriously a good album? I bought it because I thought the cover was funny.

Surfer Rosa... mmmm. That cover, I remember, led to me always making sure not to leave the case out in my room.

[KeithHernandez]

Wikipedia says that that girl is either 14 or 11, but also that may not be true.

Also, inev, it is an Eric Clapton super group, so if that interests you then maybe it is good.

Not as good as Surfer Rosa, that is for sure.

[jaydub]

If a lady is exposing her boobs in entertainment now you are getting the same boob everytime because they've all been purchased.  What happened to little cute perky tits?  Where are the slightly-floppy-in-a-sexy way tits?   The they're-sort-of-ugly-but-she's-clearly-proud-of-em-to-be-showing-em-off-like-that-and-that-makes-em-hot tits? 

This is an open message to real tits: We'd like to see you.  We miss you.  Wherever you are, please come home.

Yup, agreed.  Women are self conscious enough about their bodies that they don't need the majority of the boobs they see to be such a non-representative sample of surgical enhancement.  Particularly the real frequency of noticeable asymmetry.  Also, Snoopy Noses as a majority.

[CortJstr]

I could not agree more re: real boobs.

The album art that iTunes blurred was for Ladyhawk s/t.
