It's amazing the rediculous topics of conversation one can think up in the music world, isn't it? I was just thinking about albums that people address by more than one name. It can be simple nicknames, changes during the pressing, changes when releasing overseas, anything lke that. For example:
Untitled/IV/The Rune Album/ZOSO by Led Zepplin
Yardbirds/Uver Under Sideways Down/Roger The Enginer by The Yardbirds
Please Please Me/Intruducing The BeatlesThe Beatles
Heaven Is In Your Mind/Dear Mr. Fantasy/Mr. Fantasy by Traffic
The Beatles/The White Album by The Beatles
Zep's second album is also known as "The Brown Bomber".
Does this count for albums released under different titles in the UK and US?
Todd; Sure, why not. But albums commonly referred to by vague statements like "The one with the alien ship on the cover" do not.
The second self-titled Duran Duran album, the with "Ordinary World", "Too Much Information", and "Come Undone" on it is refered to as "The Wedding Album". Metallica's self-titled album ("Enter Sandman") has been called "Don't Tread On Me" and "The Black Album". (Prince did release an album called The Black Album, incidentally.) Weezer's first album is also known as "The Blue Album".
*hits self for forgeting this one*
John Lennon/The Plastic Ono Band is also called "The Primal Scream Album"
The first Uriah Heep album was called "Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble" in its UK release but was simply self-titled after the band in the US version.
What about Jimmy Eat World/Bleed American? The band had to self-title the album after 9/11.
Here's another one no one thought of:
Fables of the Reconstruction/Reconstruction of the Fables by R.E.M.
Nobody's mentioned The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" ("Teenage Wasteland")?
Um, Scott, "Baba O'Riley" is a song, not an album.
Oops. I'm not too bright tonight. I thought it was albums and *songs*
