W.B. said:Oh, that's nothin' . . . Black Sabbath's very first LP had exactly that same scenario. Album title: Black Sabbath. And one of the tracks on that LP? "Black Sabbath".Rudy said:How about Bad Company's song "Bad Company". Was it from their self-titled album, called Bad Company?
One clue that it might not've been a compilation was the fact that it had quite a different layout, picture etc., from the actual greatest-hits compilations (i.e. TJB, BMB, B'66) that A&M put out during that particular period in 1970.jfiedler17 said:Speaking of confusing A&M album titles, I'm surprised no one's mentioned Phil Ochs' not-actually-a-compilation "Phil Ochs' Greatest Hits"!
I know; I was merely being facetious. But it just goes to show you about how far confusion can go on such matters as this . . . and by the way, isn't it interesting that the group ended up recording for the same label as the Man in Black (although Al Kooper's original motivation for naming the group may or may not have had anything to do with that Cash LP title).Steven J.

It was actually a Johnny Cash album called "Blood, Sweat and Tears", not the reverse.

....excited about the BS&T album "More Than Ever" just released on CD, featuring the cut: "Hollywood".
Again, at the risk of repeating myself... Similarly, Nick Lowe, to "avenge" David Bowie's Low, did an album called Bowi (note the dropped "e" in both LP titles)...Captain Bacardi said:This reminds me of when REM released their Green album, and it turned out there was a band in Illinois called Green who in turn released an album called REM.

Indeed, the Man In Black did release an LP with the BS&T title, around late 1962/early '63 (one of the tracks from that was an eight-minute-plus piece called "The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer"; on the cover, he's seen holding the kind of hammer used by the folk hero in question); Bitter Tears came out in '64.DAN BOLTON said:Actually...the Johnny Cash album you're referring to was titled BITTER TEARS.

Alas, there was no music group to my knowledge that was called Bitter Tears . . .
