I dunno if I shoulda looked at that :o There's a couple in there that might give me nightmares.......the "I Want A Man" album  is a for sure, the "Traveling Salesman" and "College Drinking Songs" covers might have damaged me some too. Where are the warning labels when you need them ;)

For those in search of good bathroom reading, there's a book called "Horrifically Bad Album Covers" that I highly recommend, but for a great online experience, go here and view the galleries:

I didn't have that Jo Jo Gunne album, but I did have the first and So...Where's the Show?.   I also got to see the band live back in '72.  They were great.

Hey...dig this.  I was digging around, and Jo Jo Gunne has gotten back together, and have a new album out!  Big Chain.

Gary, that website is way out of date. The Big Chain CD came out in 2005. AFAIK the reunion was just to make a new record.

Mark Andes lives in the Austin area and plays bass for Ian McLagan. I think Matt lives in Austin too.
